The 18th annual Hot Blooded 1M/5K/10K Road Race takes place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at 7:30 AM at 1911 S Georgia St, with registration closing July 24. This event stands as one concrete marker of ongoing local participation in road racing.

Weekly Training Foundations

RUN West Texas runs Monday night training sessions from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at Randall High School’s new practice field. Its Summer Series included sessions on June 13 and June 20. These recurring gatherings supply the steady base for runners who later enter timed races.

Trail and Road Calendar

The Palo Duro Trail Run Series held a 50 Mile/50K/25K race on October 18, 2025, and a Fire-Ball Half-Marathon on August 23, 2025, near Amarillo. The First Annual Get Fit Race at Lake Meredith is set for September 5, 2026. The Our Colors Run Together 5k follows on September 26, 2026, at 9:00 AM at Amarillo College’s Museum of Art parking lot and offers both competitive and non-competitive options.

Local Venues and Access

Events use fixed local sites including 1911 S Georgia St, Lake Meredith, Randall High School’s practice field, and the Museum of Art parking lot at Amarillo College. These repeated locations allow participants to build familiarity with routes and logistics without travel outside the area.

Registration deadlines and start times are posted in advance for each race. Runners can check the listed sources for current details on the Hot Blooded event and the September races. The pattern of weekly training paired with dated races shows how Amarillo participants maintain activity through organized local programs.
