    Ready, Get Set

    On your mark for fab fall races and runs this September in Dallas-Fort Worth

    Katy 5K run

    Run one of Dallas' most beloved trails.

    The Katy Trail/Facebook

    A surefire way to know that summer in Texas is winding down? The 5Ks return. Now that it's not nearly as scorching as, say, July, you can take your workout outdoors — at least some of the time.

    Here are but a few of the big races set for September:

    Katy 5K, September 7
    Run and have fun on a unique course that takes you through some of the most beautiful parts of Dallas, including Turtle Creek, Uptown, and Katy Trail. Post-race, celebrate at the Picnic Party with DJ Poizon Ivy, free Michelob Ultra (for those 21 and over), free food from more than 30 local eateries, sponsor swag, and selfie stations.

    9/11 Heroes Run, September 16
    Be a part of this race, which happens all over the country and is organized by the Travis Manion Foundation, to honor veterans, first responders, civilians, and military who jumped into action on 9/11. The Dallas race takes place in Arlington

    Guts & Glory Zombie Experience, September 16
    Zombies are taking over Rorie-Galloway Day Camp in Mesquite — do you have what it takes to escape and survive? Humans (runners) will run through the woods and compete in team-building challenges to test strength, speed, problem-solving, and teamwork. Collect survival essentials along the way to ensure your team's safe passage to the finish. If you choose to be a Zombie, come dressed in your appropriately gory best and try to grab the runner's flags as they zoom by.

    Fort Worth Oktoberfest Run und Ride, September 21-23
    Within this three-day celebration of German culture, you'll not only find competitions like stein-hoisting and bier barrel-rolling but also 5K and 10K runs along the Trinity Trail and 20-mile urban bike ride. All race and run participants receive a free three-day pass to the fest, and dressing in lederhosen is recommended!

    The Garland Guzzler, September 23
    The "physically demanding" and "mentally strenuous" race known as the Garland Guzzler 0.5K is coming back for its sixth year. Race to the Granville Arts Center parking lot from 6-10 pm and cheer on the “athletes” as they run the 0.5K route (546 yards or 1,638 feet, to be exact), enjoy the after-race Oktoberfest festivities, food, beverages from Intrinsic Smokehouse & Brewery, live music from The Dogensteins, and much more.

    Oaktoberfest, September 24
    Oak Cliff's take on the traditional German celebration includes a 1.128-mile fun run around Tyler Station, with beer samples for each lap completed. Stay for more beer, brats, and live polka music.

    Rock of Ages Run, September 30
    Get ready to rock your way through a 5K, 10K, or half marathon in Forth Worth, where rock music will be blaring throughout the course and everyone can enjoy the race's famous pancakes at the post party.

    salary news

    This is the salary it takes to be a top 1 percent earner in Texas

    Wealth, top 1 percent earners in Texas, income threshold

    To be one of the highest earners in Texas has become a little easier in 2025: According to a new financial analysis from SmartAsset, Texans have to make $743,955 to qualify as a top 1 percent earner in the state.

    If that sounds like a lot, it's still $18,000 less than 2024, when you had to pull in $762,090 a year.

    To determine the income needed to be in the top 1 percent of earners, SmartAsset analyzed 2022 IRS data for individual tax filers (the most recent year where data was available), and income was adjusted to May 2025 dollars.

    The national average income it takes to be considered a part of this exclusive group comes out to $731,492. The income needed to be in the top 1 percent decreased in nearly every state except for North Dakota, Florida, and Oklahoma.

    Connecticut leads the nation with the highest income threshold needed to be in the top 1 percent, with residents needing to make nearly $1.06 million annually to qualify. Connecticut is the only state where residents need to make $1 million to be considered a top 1 percent earner. Only 16,917 Connecticuters currently fit the bill for the designation.

    A total of 128,130 Texans currently make enough money to be considered one of the highest earners statewide. That's 2,002 more people than in 2024. Though the report doesn't provide information as to where these top earners live, it's entirely possible some are living in Dallas-Fort Worth. After all, the metro's population has now surpassed 8.44 million residents.

    For aspiring Texans who want to make it among the top 5 percent of earners in the state, they would have to make $284,661 a year to qualify. There are 640,648 Texans who currently make enough money to be considered top 5 percent earners, the report said.

    "Nearly 1.5 million households across the United States now rank among the top 1 percent of earners, according to the latest tax return data from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)," the report said. "Economic conditions, tax policies and cost of living vary significantly from state to state, resulting in wide disparities between what it takes to become a top 1 percent earner across the nation."

    For Dallasites who want to make enough money to be considered "middle class," the yearly salary ranges between $49,478 and $71,359, according to a separate 2025 SmartAsset report.

    The top 10 states with the highest thresholds to be considered in the top 1 percent of earners in the U.S. are:

    • No. 1 – Connecticut ($1,056,996)
    • No. 2 – Massachusetts ($965,170)
    • No. 3 – California ($905,396)
    • No. 4– New Jersey ($901,082)
    • No. 5 – New York ($891,640)
    • No. 6 – Florida ($859,381)
    • No. 7 – Washington ($819,101)
    • No. 8 – Colorado ($772,989)
    • No. 9 – Wyoming ($771,369)
    • No. 10 – Texas ($743,955)
