About the Fiesta De Mayo Half Marathon

The course runs through Las Colinas, the mixed-use district west of downtown Irving, with wide roads and a generally flat profile. It is a chip-timed event with several distance options, so the start area draws a broad range of runners, from first-timers to people chasing a personal best.

The post-race party sets up on an outdoor plaza, with free beer and tacos, plus live entertainment. A VIP indoor brunch option is available for those who want something more. The race benefits the Irving Schools Foundation, with scholarships awarded at each event in the series.

Common Questions About the Fiesta De Mayo Half Marathon

Will I finish last at the Fiesta De Mayo Half Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 37:05, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:22:55, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Fiesta De Mayo Half Marathon a good first 5K?

With 2,072 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Fiesta De Mayo Half Marathon?

The 5K winner ran 16:22 while the median finisher took 37:05. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
