Imagine yourself attacking a 1.2 mile loop that begins on the Reliant Stadium field and then spirals through three levels of the massive facility. You’ll also be assured the perfect weather conditions since the interior of the stadium is climate-controlled with obviously no chance of rain or “headwinds”.
But this event is not just about the runners. Friends and family of participants are invited to join in the fun. Each registered runner will be issued 6 complimentary Reliant Stadium entry passes. Spectators will enjoy the impressive views of the stadium interior as they watch their runner cross the entire length of the stadium playing field during each lap of the race (22 laps for marathoners and 11 laps for half-marathoners). Also, music will be flowing throughout the stadium and most importantly, runners will be captured on video with real-time feed to the huge stadium flat screen – located above the end zone.
