Hachie 50 Marathon, Ultra and Relay 2024

Short review

The Waxahachie Running Club is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization that promotes running and walking in Ellis County, which is south of Dallas, TX. We are a friendly, family-oriented group that welcomes all levels; from beginners in our 5k training program up to competitive marathoners, ultra-marathoners, trail-runners and triathletes. Our goal is to bring runners and walkers together encouraging safe, friendly fun-runs. Started in June of 2011 we have grown to over 1800 members and host group runs or training weekly.

On May 1, 2021, we are joining with the Waxahachie Lions Club to host this race. The event will benefit the Waxahachie Lion's Club, which supports local children and schools in Ellis County.  Title Sponsors are:  Edward Jones of Waxahachie -- Paul Box, Paul Colwell, Nick Box and Lance Gary

The race is held in Waxahachie's Getzendaner city park that is mostly closed to traffic. Course is 90% on concrete sidewalks, 10% dirt/gravel. This is a beautiful, FAST, FLAT & Tree-lined out-n-back course!

We will have custom t-shirts for participants; unique custom medals; free online race photos; and lots of food and drinks during and after the event. Individual awards will be given to the Top 6 Men and Women in each event (no separate masters category).  Relay event awards go top Top Male team, Top Female team & Top Coed Team
