DFW Winter Series Race 4

The DFW Winter Series Race 4, scheduled for February 5, 2026, in Flower Mound, TX, appears to be a mountain bike race series rather than a running race, based on the available information. The event, part of a five-week series held on Thursday nights, takes place on Loop 5 of the Northshore Trail at Murrell Park. The course is described as a challenging 2.6-mile short track featuring rock gardens, creek crossings, and climbs designed to test riders' skills, with most categories completing multiple laps.

Categories for the race include Men's Elite, Intermediate, and Beginner, Women's Elite, Intermediate, and Beginner, Singlespeed, E-bike, Juniors (13 and Under, 8 and Under), and a Kid's Strider Race, all indicative of cycling events. Participants are required to have both a white front light and a red rear blinkie light, as races commence in the evening, with juniors starting at dusk and adult races continuing into full darkness. Rental lights are available in limited quantities each week.

The distances provided for this request (11M, 7.8M, 7.5M, 5.2M, 2.6M) do not align with the nature of the DFW Winter Series Race 4 as a mountain bike event with a 2.6-mile loop. Therefore, a description from a running race expert cannot be accurately provided for this event.
