New Years Double is a running race on December 31, 2026 – January 1, 2027 in Allen, TX, with entry fees from $22.50 to $115.
From the Organizer
Two days of run events (New Year's Eve and New Year's Day), with beautiful race shirts and finisher medals for everyone. We are celebrating getting active to end the year and getting active to start the new year off right! There is a 5K, half marathon, and marathon BOTH days. The 5K happens in its entirety before the half and full marathon, so participants can do up to 2 races per day. There's also a special perk for those who complete multiple running events over the two days – we know how runners love their bling! For those who want the biggest challenge of a 5K and marathon EACH day, they will finish the two days with 58.6 miles and go into the next year with some solid miles already!
