The results shown are what was captured manually by our timing crew Thursday evening. RunFAR Racing Services, Inc. received and used tags that were incorrectly encoded by the tag manufacturing company, MPI. Due to this error the Chronotrack hardware we use was unable to read the encoded RFID tags. Because of this, unfortunately, we were not able to electronically record times for the 2015 Long Run. Please email us at results@run-far.com with your bib and time to have your time included in the results, if of course, you know it. We will have a further statement from the our tag manufacturer, MPI and Chronotrack in the next few days. Our sincerest apologies to the Long Run, volunteers and participants for this occurrence.
THE LONG RUN starts and finishes at the front lawn of J.L. Long Middle School, located at 6116 Reiger Avenue, Dallas, TX 75214. After the races, runners, student groups, and community members meet for food, refreshments, and entertainment.
The 2015 event will take place Thursday, October 15th, with festivities beginning at 5:30 pm. The 1-mile fun run/walk, beginning at 6:00 pm, is oriented to kids, families and those “not so serious” runners. It will encircle the J.L. Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School campuses. The 5K Long Run, beginning at 6:30 pm, offers runners a winding and challenging course that starts in front of J.L. Long Middle School. The course takes runners through historic, tree-lined streets of the Hollywood Heights neighborhood and Santa Fe Trail offering runners some wonderful views of historic homes in picturesque old East Dallas. The race finishes at the school and after race activities will be in the front lawn of school located at 6116 Reiger Ave Dallas, TX 75214
Each entrant will receive a race T-shirt. In addition, awards will be given for the fastest runners in the various age categories.
Early registration, before Friday, October 2, 2015, is just $10 for children 14 and under and $15 for adults. Entry forms can be picked up at Luke’s Locker (new location at 3046 E.
