From the Organizer
Run Paris, Y'all! This race is held on the NETT Trail, a rails-to-trails conversion route. The trail is a mix of asphalt, soft ground, gravel trails, and limited road crossings. This is a flat and fast course. It’s "a road race with a trail vibe!"
All distances start and end at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Texas. If you haven't been, Paris, Texas is approximately 90 minutes northeast of Dallas, TX, 90 minutes west of Texarkana, less than 20 minutes south of the Oklahoma/Texas border and three hours south of Tulsa, OK.
Run a race in the morning, at night, or both! This race was previously called "Paris Pair." Now, when you run a distance in the morning and the evening, you are doing the Paris Pair Challenge!
