About the Summer Meltdown Half Marathon - Fort Worth
The course runs through parks and trails out of Farrington Field, with shaded paths breaking up what is otherwise a warm-weather effort. A DJ calls out runners by name along the way, and age group awards go deep, so there is real competition across the field if you want it.
After you finish, a Kona Ice truck is set up at the post-race area, which is about the right thing to find at the end of a summer morning. Music stays on through the awards ceremony, and the organizers run a proper podium call for overall and age group winners.
