Black Diamond (Longview, TX)

🏆 Event Overview

We excited to present one of our most LUXURIOUS events of the year - BLACK DIAMOND! Come out and participate in either our 5K, 10K, or Half-Marathon event and earn your very own BLACK DIAMOND MEDAL! Place top three in your age group and win an ADDITIONAL MEDAL!

👶 Kid's Dash

If your littles are excited to join in the experience, but aren't quite ready to tackle a full 5K, we highly recommend on KID'S DASH! This is a short 100–200-meter sprint prior to the start of the race to give our little ones the opportunity to experience the racing environment without the pressure of a seemingly long, endless course. Dashers run for FREE but can still purchase a t-shirt and a finisher medal as an add-on.

🥇 New Additions for 2026

Run Different is adding a brand new 1 MILE OPTION to all of our events for 2026! This is perfect for those who are just dipping their toes into the racing experience as well as friends, families, and social groups that just want to go for a nice stroll. Our milers will still receive finisher medals and participation shirts: however, this will be an untimed event with no age group awards.
