Race Information
The Texas Big Star race is a popular annual half marathon & 5k in Frisco. It features an undulating road course, a very popular post-race finisher festival, and some pretty solid finisher hardware. Expect a few thousand running buddies out at this one!
The Big Star Half is presented by the North Texas Community Giving Foundation (NTCGF), in partnership with The Tug McGraw Foundation. The NTCGF is dedicated to making an impact in North Texas by supporting local nonprofit organizations that align with its vision of improving the health, education, and welfare of our community. The Tug McGraw Foundation (TMF) was established by Tug McGraw in 2003 to raise funds to enhance the quality of life of children and adults with brain tumors and their families.
