So first thing you need to know is that after you park your car, you’ve got at least a mile hike to the start. Also–although you walk through a really gorgeous pumpkin filled garden (on your way to the start) once the race starts you are totally OUT of the arboretum. Neat baseball cap for finishers–really nice. The heat along with running along water created near sauna like conditions but it was still really fun. I recommend.

Hot & muggy--but still fun!

The Dallas Arboretum did a wonderful job with this race. White Rock Lake is one of my favorite places to run in Dallas. The course takes the normal 9 miles around the lake and add some extending parts of the possible areas routes around the lake. Free parking was provided in the parking garage across the street (it has tunnel access to the arboretum, no having to cross a busy road). The race swag included a race tshirt, nice medal, and hat. Post race there is an assortment of food options from local restaurants (some free, some for a cost) along with bananas and water. Live music was provided from just after race start until end o the race program. The only challange I had was weather related, very hot and humid conditions. Overall, I’ll keep this one in mind for future years.
