The HOTTEST Racing in town is bringing a new heat to the DFW metroplex with the Burning Soles Trail Series.
Beginning this June and running through August, compete in a 5K or 10K trail running series at one of the best off-road trails in DFW. For 8 weeks this summer we will have beginner friendly, community centered races available to keep you connected, trained and focused through the summer.
Trails will be well marked, with lively and exciting finish line atmosphere. Featuring some of the best singletrack trails in North Texas.
Races will be chip timed for all participants. When you arrive for your first race you will be assigned and given a runners bib for the series. Bring that bib back with you each time you race.
Schedule:
Our schedule uses one of the best trail running sections of DFW and races will be held weekly at the Northshore Trail MADD Shelter. Our course will follow laps of Loop 5 with a small portion of Loop 6 to the natural turnaround where we will have a water cache waiting for those who need it.

If you are a frequent trail user, please consider getting an annual DORBA membership for only $40 per year. All funding to DORBA goes towards trail maintenance and advocacy in our area, supporting 28 trails and 265+ miles of singletrack.
