The Dallas Cowboys Draft Day 5K takes place at Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on April 25, 2026. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile distance rather than a traditional 5K. The race starts at 7:30 AM, making it an early morning commitment for participants. Entry fees range from $15 to $69 depending on your registration tier. This is a straightforward local running event held at the Cowboys' facility, suitable for runners seeking a shorter distance option or those looking to add a warmup run to their race weekend.
