The Rule Every Distance Runner Should Know.
Training tip for the Cowtown-bound: 🧠
The "10% Rule" — don't increase your total weekly mileage by more than about 10% from one week to the next. It's one of the simplest ways to build endurance while keeping injury risk down, especially as your long runs start to stretch out.
Slow, steady progress beats a big week followed by two weeks on the sidelines. Every time.

ALL FOR ARTISTS: Design the Look of Cowtown's 50th Anniversary

In February 2028, Cowtown Marathon turns 50.

For half a century, this race has carried Fort Worth through its streets, stockyards, and along the Trinity River — a legacy of community, movement, and generations of runners who grew up watching race weekend take over downtown.

We're looking for a DFW metro / Texas artist to design the visual identity for this milestone year — a theme that will anchor everything from merchandise and signage to a city-wide celebration leading up to race weekend.

This isn't just a t-shirt commission. It's a chance to put a local artist's voice at the center of one of Fort Worth's most visible annual traditions — seen by:
🏃 30,000 runners
🙌 4,000 volunteers
👏 60,000 spectators

The winning design launches a year-long countdown to 2028, showing up across:
✨ A social run series at Fort Worth's most iconic landmarks
✨ "50 Years, 50 Stories" — a community storytelling campaign
✨ A fundraising push for youth fitness through the Cowtown Annual Legacy Fund (C.A.L.F.)

📍 Local artists, this one's for you. Details & how to apply: Email us at [email protected]
