The 18th annual Hot Blooded 1M/5K/10K Road Race starts at 7:30 AM on July 25, 2026, at Get Fit Amarillo located at 1911 S Georgia St, with registration closing July 24 at 11:59 PM CT.

Hot Blooded Road Race

This event returns to the same venue used in prior years and draws participants seeking a measured road course in central Amarillo. Organizers list the start time and registration deadline directly on the Get Fit Amarillo site.

RT 66 Road Race

The third annual RT 66 Road Race also occurs on July 25, 2026, and forms part of the Texas Route 66 Centennial Festival Finale. Registration costs $30 through July 23 and rises to $40 on packet pick-up day, according to the event listing at fitnessatkt.com.

Both races share the July 25 date yet operate independently, allowing runners to select based on timing, distance preference or festival ties. The RT 66 event specifically highlights the 1-mile, 5K and 10K options alongside the Hot Blooded program.

Additional 2026 Events

Further ahead, the first annual Get Fit Race at Lake Meredith on September 5, 2026, offers 50-mile, 50K and 25K distances with entry fees between $105 and $150. On September 26, 2026, the Our Colors Run Together 5K begins at 9:00 AM from the Amarillo College and Amarillo Museum of Art parking lot under the Lone Star Runners Club.

The Palo Duro Trail Run Series previously hosted its 50-mile, 50K and 25K distances on October 18, 2025, at a site two miles from Amarillo. These dates establish a pattern of trail and road options extending through late summer and fall.

Participants should verify current registration status and packet details on the listed event pages before the respective deadlines.
