Heroes' Day Half Marathon, 10K & 5K Run

  • McLendon-Chisholm City Hall 1371 W Farm to Market Rd 550 Rockwall, TX 75032 United States (map)

Dash, Drink, and Dink at Heroes’ Day hosted by Sarah Naylor, Realtor, and Racquet & Jog! 

Join us for a 5K 10K, and Half Marathon on Saturday, November 9th, at McLendon-Chisholm City Hall. Following the races, we'll have an after-party at Tate Farms with food trucks, music, and more! Then on Sunday, November 10th, bring your A-game to the pickleball court for our doubles tournament at Oasis Pickleball Club. 

Heroes’ Day was birthed out of a desire to recognize the first responders in our community. Through this event, we want to honor these individuals and show them our support and appreciation. Proceeds from the event will go to local nonprofit, Home & Heart, and benefit our first responders.

All 3 courses are USATF certified. USATF Course Certifications may be viewed under the tab Course.
