Description

Wellstone's Dallas White Rock Marathon is made for runners – FAST, FLAT, SCENIC and FUN – with more than 40 bands!

Come celebrate warm Texas hospitality and run the best of Dallas. Starting and finishing at the American Airlines Center in ultra-modern Victory Plaza, traversing downtown and the wooded Turtle Creek area, the mostly-flat course travels through prestigious Highland Park, along a 10-mile loop around beautiful White Rock Lake and through the historic Lakewood and Swiss Avenue neighborhoods.

Our post-race party keeps the fun going with live music inside the American Airlines Center with plenty of food and beverages for all participants. Wellstone's Dallas White Rock Marathon – a great race in a great city for a great cause – come run the race of your life with us on December 10, 2006!
