Why attend here

December in Dallas brings crisp, cool air perfect for a long run, and this 42k course delivers a scenic tour of the city's heart—past the historic Highland Park mansions, around the serene White Rock Lake, and back to a finish framed by the downtown skyline. Afterward, warm up with a bowl of Texas chili or some slow-smoked brisket at a local barbecue joint, a true taste of the region. The holiday season also means the city is decked out in festive lights, adding a bit of sparkle to your race-day adventure.
