Come run the oldest half marathon in Texas! The Dallas Running Club Half Marathon, lovingly referred to locally as “The Half”, was originally organized in 1976 to fill a niche between the 10K and marathon distances. This event now stands as a fixture on the racing calendar and a premier running event in the North Texas area. The DRC Half Marathon is one of the oldest half marathons in the US and is well-attended by elite runners, casual runners, run-walkers and walkers.
For over four decades, this race has been a celebration of our running home – White Rock Lake – and its beautiful trails. With its scenic lakeside course and traditionally good weather conditions, this race is a final goal for some or a test of endurance for those preparing for a winter marathon.
The event benefits the Tal Morrison Scholarship Fund.

The race was very warm for November, there were record breaking heat that weekend. They encouraged runners to slow down and make sure to hydrate.
There were plenty of water stations along the course but not very much people cheering. Well run race. Since the weather wasn’t ideal, there weren’t the normal cyclist/runners out on the trail fussing at the participants for being in their way.
Great Local Race

Race is the best of small local race and big race organization. As one of the oldest half in Texas, these organizers have everything down from starting to road closures and support. Their pacers are AMAZING! They don’t start too fast like I have experienced in other races and they are positive, supportive and will get you across the finish time in the time they are pacing!
