We specialize in events that bring communities together.
14 years. 4 million participants. Event Southwest is designed to produce events from the ground up — permitting, logistics, public safety, and day-of execution all under one roof.
BMW Dallas Marathon
One of the largest marathons in the Southwest. ESW has served as full production partner for the BMW Dallas Marathon since 2012: permitting, public safety, course logistics, race timing, and finish-line production across multiple days and race distances.
Dallas Heart Walk
One of the largest Heart Walks in the country. ESW manages full-scale site logistics, volunteer coordination, donor VIP management, and public safety planning for 25,000 participants at Levy Event Plaza in Irving.
Carry The Load
We produce the Dallas convergence for Carry The Load's National March, a multi-day Memorial Day event where marchers arriving from routes across the country converge on Reverchon Park to carry storyboards of the fallen into a closing ceremony that restores active meaning to the day.
JPMorganChase Corporate Challenge
A 3.5-mile corporate run open exclusively to company employees, held in the Dallas Arts District as part of JPMorganChase's global Corporate Challenge series, benefiting United Way of Metropolitan Dallas. ESW serves as production partner alongside On Board Experiential.
Lunar New Year Festival
We produce the annual Lunar New Year Festival for the City of Richardson at DFW Chinatown — a free, multi-cultural celebration on Greenville Avenue featuring live performances, 50 vendors, and family programming that reflects Richardson's identity as one of the most culturally diverse communities in the Dallas metro.
Dallas Bike Ride
We handle full event operations for Dallas's only car-free social ride — a 20-mile (or 10-mile) route through downtown Dallas that brings 5,000 cyclists of all abilities together each May, benefiting local cycling nonprofits across the city.
Chevron Houston Marathon
We managed start line operations, the We Are Houston 5K, course marking, and the expo build out for one of the country's top-ranked marathons, a World Athletics Gold Label event that draws hundreds of thousands of participants, volunteers, and spectators to downtown Houston every January.
McKinney Historic Half
We produce the McKinney Historic Half for the Dallas White Rock Marathon organization, the inaugural running of this half marathon weekend in McKinney, TX. Presented by BMW, the event benefits Scottish Rite for Children.
Tulsa Heart Walk
We produce the Tulsa Heart Walk for the American Heart Association, an annual community walk at ONEOK Field in downtown Tulsa that brings together corporate teams, heart and stroke survivors, and families to raise funds for cardiovascular research and health education.
CITC Food & Music Festival
We produce CITC Food & Music Festival for the City of Richardson, a free annual festival celebrating the music, food, and arts of Richardson's many cultures, held at Interurban Common in the heart of The CORE District.
OKC Memorial Marathon
We manage start line operations and serve as a consulting partner for the Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon, a Boston-qualifying race that honors the 168 people killed in the 1995 bombing and now draws runners from all 50 states.
Run For The Water
We manage full event operations for Run For The Water, the Gazelle Foundation's 20th-anniversary road race and Austin's only 10-miler, where every dollar raised funds clean water projects in Burundi.
Dallas Turkey Trot
We produce the Dallas Turkey Trot for the YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas — one of the largest Thanksgiving Day races in Texas, drawing 25,000+ participants through downtown Dallas each year on an 8-mile course that passes Dealey Plaza, Deep Ellum, and the Trinity River.

We produce Light Up Lockwood for the City of Richardson — a free annual holiday event in Richardson's Lockwood neighborhood that brings the community together each fall with lighting, seasonal programming, and family activities.
