DFW Burning Soles Trail Series Race 8
The Burning Soles Trail Series is an eight week trail running series held at the Northshore Trail MADD Shelter in Flower Mound, Texas. Races run weekly from June through August and Race 8 in the series is scheduled for August 12.
Distances offered:
- 5K trail race
- 10K trail race
The course follows laps of Loop 5 with a short section of Loop 6 to a natural turnaround where a water cache is provided. Trails are singletrack, marked, and managed on municipal or federal property. Distances are approximate and can vary with trail conditions. Races are chip timed for all participants. Runners receive a series bib at their first race and are expected to reuse that bib in subsequent events.
Each distance uses a mass start with all divisions in that distance starting together; 10K runners begin about 45 minutes before 5K runners so both distances may be on course at the same time. Weekly awards recognize the top three male and top three female finishers in each distance. Age group recognition includes Juniors 13 and under, Under 40, and Masters 41 plus, and a final series award is presented at the end of the eight weeks.
Registration fees vary by age group and registration timing. Registrations are final and nonrefundable. Transfers to other race dates are permitted. In the event of weather or trail closure cancellations, registrations are credited to the next week in the series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
