This race puts on an awesome experience. They have plenty of aid stations throughout the course and tons of spectators watching and cheering you on. At the end of the race, you get to enjoy plenty of food and the great swag that comes with it!

—Mark, Mesquite, TX
This is my 3rd time running this race! I’ve run the marathon, half marathon, and half marathon relay. Each time has been so much fun and very well-supported. I love the swag and the medals are some of my favorites to display. I plan to run this race every year!
—Jessica, Denton, TX
Always a well-organized event with lots of support along the course! The start & finish of this race help make the overall experience a lot of fun for everyone! Be sure and add some hills to your training plan because there are a few on the course. Overall, this is a really fun race and the finisher medals always have a cool look & design!

BMW Dallas Marathon
The Dallas Marathon is a nonprofit organization with a focus on promoting health and physical fitness through running events and related activities. Established in 1971, the history of the organization encompasses tremendous growth and produces what has become Dallas’ largest and Texas’ longest running marathon, the BMW Dallas Marathon, as well as several other weekend event options including a Half Marathon, 50K Ultra Marathon, 2-person half marathon relay, 5-person marathon relay, 10K, 5K, a 5K Team Challenge, the Friday Night Lights Mile and various Kids Races.
Running the marathon in Dallas highlights the city’s most vibrant neighborhoods, entertainment districts and iconic Dallas landmarks. Tens of thousands of spectators join in BMW Dallas Marathon Day – the second Sunday of December – lining the streets and neighborhoods to cheer on participants in a race that is recognized as the official marathon of the City of Dallas.
Since naming a primary beneficiary in 1997, the Dallas Marathon has donated more than $4 million to Scottish Rite for Children.
