The Irving Marathon Running Series presents the 12th annual Irving Marathon at Toyota Music Factory! The Irving Marathon is the biggest event in our series where runners from all over the world come together at Toyota Music Factory, America's #1 Concert Venue centrally located in Dallas Fort Worth minutes from the DFW airport.

Our course is nicknamed "Fast & Flat" making it an ideal Boston Marathon Qualifier! Expect to achieve your PR this year. The course takes you from Toyota Music Factory, through the scenic and newly developed downtown Las Colinas, across the Las Colinas Canals, along Lake Carolyn, newly developed Water Street, and the iconic Las Colinas Mustangs. Runners then will go back onto Las Colinas Boulevard where they will enjoy scenic water features before crossing the finish line at Toyota Music Factory, America's #1 Concert Venue for free beer, food, entertainment, and much more!

Race day perks include CASH prizes, FREE professional race photos, gender-specific performance event shirt, custom event bib, chip-timed race, live tracking and course maps w/ GPS Progress Alerts, age group awards, team challenge awards, convenient parking, and more.

IMRS PACER PROGRAM

The Irving Marathon Running Series Pacer Program brings a team of experienced runners from the Irving Running Club and other volunteers to help runners achieve their goals at IMRS races. They are an invaluable asset to runners attempting to complete a specific distance or want to accomplish a specific finish time. They are responsible for ensuring that the participants maintain a steady pace throughout the race, providing motivation and encouragement, and offering advice on maintaining hydration and fuel during the run. Pacers play a significant role in making long-distance races possible and more enjoyable for participants. They are one of the many reasons why running a race can be an unforgettable experience. We are grateful for our IMRS Pacers who volunteer at our events. It takes a village!!

Pacers are available for all marathon and half marathon distances.
Marathon Times: 3:10, 3:20, 3:30, 3:40, 3:50, 4:00, 4:10, 4:20, 4:30, 5:00, 5:30, 6:00
