About the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k

The course runs through Pearsall Park, inside the city. The organizers call it challenging, which suggests some real terrain rather than a flat loop. Aid stations come frequently along the route, each stocked with cold water, electrolytes, and cold towels, a welcome touch on a warm morning. Age group awards go out across all distance options.

Common Questions About the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k

Will I finish last at the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 43:11, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:52:49, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (169 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 21:21 while the median finisher took 43:11. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.

Where can I train for the Dragons Den Half Marathon, 10k, 5k?

Join a local run club. Dreamers, In The Loop Run Crew, Urban Run Club SATX and others in San Antonio welcome runners of all paces, and a weekly group run is the most reliable way to hold a training block together.
