After an inaugural running on New Year’s Day of 2011 through this northern suburb of Dallas in North Texas, the New Year’s Day Half Marathon expanded for New Year’s 2012 to feature a full, 26.2-mile marathon in addition to the individual half marathon, for a race that’s been newly renamed the New Year’s Double Marathon, Half Marathon. Runners will follow an out-and-back course that starts in Allen’s Celebration Park and takes runners along the paved walking, running and biking trails that both wind through the park and extend outside the park and into the neighborhoods beyond the park, roughly in parallel with the Angel Parkway. Those running the half marathon will run the 6.55-mile course twice, while those running the full marathon will make four loops around the course. The course is set to be certified by USA Track & Field, and organizers plan to have three aid stations set up out on the course — at the start/finish line area, a second station in Celebration Park, and a third station at the turnaround point near Country Brook Lane. Interested in participating? You’re encouraged to sign up early, as the half and full marathons are limited to 1,000 runners each day. See the race website for full details.
