Event
Information:
The
Dallas White Rock Marathon is a
marathon that has taken place in
December in Dallas, Texas since
1971. An official time from the
Dallas White Rock Marathon can be
used to qualify for the Boston
Marathon. The course is both hilly
and flat involving running through
downtown Dallas as well as the area
surrounding White Rock Lake. In
recent years, it has included the
Mayor's 5K race, a five person
relay, and a half-marathon in
addition to the traditional marathon
race. The main beneficiary of the
race is Texas Scottish Rite Hospital
for Children.
Along
with the Houston Marathon and the
Austin Marathon, the Dallas White
Rock Marathon forms the first leg of
the Marathons of Texas, a series of
winter marathons held approximately
one month apart from each other from
December through February in Texas.
The
Mayor’s 5k Race and Fun Run will
take place on the day before the
marathon with a start and finish in
Fair Park. These changes have been
implemented to improve the overall
experience at our event and build
upon the reputation the White Rock
Marathon has built up over the
years.
The White Rock Marathon is known for
having a fun, exciting and scenic
course. We plan to retain 80% to 85%
of the existing marathon course and
add new sections such as the Dallas
Arts District to further enhance the
course.
