About the Texas Heat
The Texas Heat runs in Waxahachie during the height of summer, which tells you everything about what you are signing up for. The race is moving to a new location for its upcoming edition, so the course itself is still taking shape. What stays the same is the premise: a summer morning run that is honest about the conditions right there in the name.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at a local running store, with a race-morning window near the start line as a backup. The morning schedule runs tight, with a warm-up, course instructions, and the national anthem all packed into the hour before the gun.

Texas Heat 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Texas Heat has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
