As one of the most colourful events in the Irving Marathon Running Series, the Fiesta de Mayo Half Marathon 2026 celebrates Latin cultures with a fun, festival-style race day. Runners can choose from three distances — half marathon, 10K, or 5K — starting and finishing at the Toyota Music Factory before looping around Lake Carolyn and through the streets of Las Colinas on smooth, mostly flat tarmac. The event welcomes all levels, from first-time 5K participants to experienced half-marathoners chasing a PR, helped by pacers in the longer distance and generous support on course. After crossing the finish line, everyone is invited to a lively post-race party featuring tacos, drinks, music and team-challenge awards, making it as much a cultural fiesta as a running event.
Races
The Fiesta de Mayo 5K begins at 7:50 a.m. on Saturday, May 16, 2026, again from Toyota Music Factory Plaza in Irving, organised by the Irving Marathon Running Series. Designed for new runners, families and walkers, this 3.1-mile loop keeps things short and fun while delivering the same festive atmosphere, finisher medal and post-race fiesta as the longer distances.
Also on May 16, 2026 at 7:30 a.m., the Fiesta de Mayo 10K heads out from Toyota Music Factory Plaza under the same Irving Marathon Running Series banner. Offering a fast 6.2-mile route through Las Colinas with lakeside views and full street closures, it’s a lively mid-distance option that still ends in the heart of the plaza party.
