Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
We’re not sure if Dallas has been called beautiful by anybody—ever—but the organizers of The Fifth Annual Big D Texas Marathon claim theirs is one of the most beautiful courses you will ever run. It starts at the State Fair grounds, continues around White Rock Lake through Swiss Avenue and finishes on the front steps of the Cotton Bowl. We think it takes a masochist to find beauty in a marathon, but if the runners can do it, more power to ’em because it seems most people’s definition of Dallas beauty happens in a windowless bar somewhere on Northwest Highway. Start times is 7:30 a.m. Sunday for the Marathon & Half Marathon and 7:45 a.m. for the 5K. Non-refundable entry fees are $20 to $85. You can register at the event on race day.
