About Heels and Hills

This race is one of two Heels and Hills annual events - the other is the Heels and Hills Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, & 1 Mile Fun Run, with our fifth year celebration of that signature event on May 1, 2011.

The signature Heels and Hills event in May is extremely focused on our core audience (getting women fit), although men can participate - however, the event colors are hot pink, there's a high heel and a girl running in the logo, and men can not win awards in the main event, the half marathon!

Race Background

After the success of Heels and Hills' women-focused May event, we started to hear from both women and men who wanted to bring the same untimidating atmosphere to more men in their lives, so Heels and Hills and Him Half was developed to be a slightly more co-ed event - men can win awards in all events, and the event logo is blue with a boy and a cowboy boot! But the focus is still on fun and a friendly race atmosphere!

Course

The course showcases Irving's beautiful Campion Trails! The course features the trails and the streets in the Las Colinas Blvd / Williams Square area.

Course Time Limit

Walker-friendly time limit of 4 hours (that's a pace of 18 minutes per mile).

Half Marathon Awards

All half marathon finishers receive a gorgeous colored finisher's medal. Unlike the very women-focused Heels and Hills Half Marathon in May, men win awards in the half marathon at this event!
