6th Annual Half CRAZY Half Marathon and 5K

Get ready for a challenge with a cause at the 6th Annual Half CRAZY Half Marathon and 5K, set to take place on Saturday, November 7, 2026, in the charming town of Mineral Wells, Texas. This USATF Certified Course offers distances for every runner, including a 13.1-mile half marathon, a 3.1-mile 5K, and a 1-mile fun run, all kicking off from beneath the iconic CRAZY Water Sign at 104 W. Hubbard. The half marathon runners will embark on a scenic journey through the streets of Mineral Wells before tackling the famously challenging "CRAZY HILLS" of Palo Pinto County, offering stunning views of the historic Baker Hotel as you make your way back to the downtown finish line.

Runners can anticipate invigorating race day conditions, with typical highs around 72F and lows near 45F, accompanied by a low 7% chance of precipitation. Beyond the exhilarating course, this event distinguishes itself by giving back to the community; all proceeds benefit the United Way of Palo Pinto County, directly impacting local needs. Half marathon participants are rewarded with a limited edition CRAZY Hoodie and a medal, while 5K finishers receive a commemorative T-shirt and a medal. Both distances include tasty post-race goodies from Whataburger and a refreshing beverage.

Whether you're chasing a personal best on the challenging inclines or enjoying a spirited run for a good cause, the Half CRAZY Half Marathon and 5K promises a memorable experience. The top overall male and female half-marathoners will also vie for a $150 cash prize, adding an extra layer of competition to this community-focused event. Prepare to conquer the hills and embrace the spirit of Mineral Wells!
