Get ready to kick off summer fun at our brand-new Melon Dash location — Little Elm Park in Little Elm, TX! This year brings exciting NEW 10K and 5K courses, plenty of convenient parking, and the perfect lakeside spot for our after-party.
Once you cross the finish line, the celebration begins with an awards ceremony, sponsor village packed with goodies, ice-cold beer, and, of course, all the juicy watermelon you can eat. Plus, don’t miss the newest addition — our Watermelon Eating Contest, guaranteed to be a family favorite!
Last year’s event sold out, so don’t wait to grab your spot. We can’t wait to see you and your crew for the sweetest race in Texas!
