About the Irving Frost Marathon

The course is flat and fast, certified by USATF and designed with qualifying times in mind. The route explores the Irving-Las Colinas area, starting and finishing at a major concert venue called Toyota Music Factory. The winter theme gives the whole morning a different feel than a typical road race.

After the race, there is a post-race party on the plaza outside the venue, with beer, food, and live entertainment. Parking is available on-site. Professional race photos are included, and cash prizes are awarded.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Irving Frost Marathon has been held every year since at least 2019. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Common Questions About the Irving Frost Marathon

Will I finish last at the Irving Frost Marathon?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:32, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:30:56, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Irving Frost Marathon a good first 5K?

With 980 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 Irving Frost Marathon?

The 5K winner ran 17:45 while the median finisher took 36:32. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
