Grab a few friends and throw on your running shoes!

If you're someone who's been actively completing the Couch to 5K program, enjoy walking longer distances, want to participate in a charity race, or simply want to be challenged and compete, the Dallas Metroplex area will be hosting a variety of different races for you to register for.

Signing up for a race is a great way to get motivated to work out and get healthy. You can sign up for one of the races that are in the Fall, and then create a program for yourself to improve your conditioning for race day.

So what races do you have to choose from?
