HOW CAN FRIENDS & FAMILY SUPPORT THE RUNNERS?
- Cheer or ring cowbells as runners come past you each lap!
- Hold up signs! Don't want to make your own sign? Buy a Course Sign!
- Volunteer! We can always use volunteer help. For instance you can hand out water at the water-only stops!
WHERE CAN FRIENDS & FAMILY CHEER FROM?
Marine Creek Lake Trail is very remote, even though it's in the middle of the suburbs. Here's a list of the best places to meet your runner to cheer them on:
Start/Finish Area
- Enjoy the view of the lake, check out the raffle items and chat with other runners' families!
- Address: 2700 NW Loop 820, Fort Worth, TX 76179
- GPS: 32.826246, -97.389079
TCC Northeast Campus & Chisholm Trail High School
- There's easy access to the whole trail from the parking lots for the College and High School. Both are on the West side of the lake. Take NW College Drive off Marine Creek Parkway
- GPS TCC Boathouse: 32.832648, -97.395030
- GPS High School: 32.836741, -97.394837
EagleMountain-Saginaw ISD Headquarters
- This is also the 5K turn-around.
- Address: 1600 Mustang Rock Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76179
- GPS: 32.841019, -97.395428
Marine Creek Lake Park parking area and boat ramp
- Plenty of parking! We'll have a waterstop and portable toilet there for the runners.
- Address: Ten Mile Bridge Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76135
- GPS: 32.82897305392287, -97.39938586069808
Metroplex Ski Club Dock area / Dam Hill / Lock Bridge
- The dock is private property but the bridge and trail beside it is a good place to cheer the runners. Or park in the same place and cheer for them from the top of the dam.
- Park on the highway access road - be careful pulling out, traffic is FAST! OR it's only a 1/2 mile walk from the start/finish
- Address: Jim Wright Freeway / NW Loop I-820 Access Rd
- GPS: 32.820545, -97.401092
Please note that there is NO PARKING for the FAR AID Aid Station. If we want to continue to use the HOA's trail, we need to respect their property and their rules.
