Whether you are new to the North Texas running scene or looking to build up your medal count, The Colony offers a variety of races each year. Mark your calendar for these must-experience races.
The Colony Shoreline Run
Part trail run, part road race, The Colony Shoreline Run, formerly The Colony Half Marathon, incorporates the best of both surfaces in a 5K race every autumn. Enjoy scenic views of Lewisville Lake’s eastern shoreline from the crushed granite footing of The Colony Shoreline Trail. The event offers hydration stations and commemorative race shirts, as well as an after-party featuring food and drinks. 100% of the net proceeds support cancer patients and research for cures through the race’s designated cancer-fighting partner at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Triathlons & Run-Bike-Run Events
Join Playtri, the Official Triathlon Store for the IRONMAN U.S. Series, as it hosts its annual St. Patrick’s Day triathlon in The Colony. Come March, the Luck of the Irish Triathlon, Run-Bike-Run and 5K event kicks off at the Lewisville Aquatic Center East and includes a commemorative shirt, large custom medal and finisher gift. This USA Triathlon-sanctioned event is organized by a certified race director and features pre-race clinics to give you some transition, gear and nutrition tips.
Shorter Race Routes
