Dallas brought in some elite runners in 2006 with the new corporate sponsor and the day was almost perfect for the race when the gun went off. It was aproximately 45 degrees with 30% humidity and breezes of 4-6 mph from the SE with gusts to 12 mph. By the 5th hour it was fogged in with 100% humidity and a steady drizzle.

A new course record was put in by both the Men and Women with the Mens Winner also getting a bonus check for beating the Cooper Aerobics Challenge.
