The Social Runner Network by Race Nation is a new online platform that encourages that social interaction that is a huge draw for many runners. Meet all the other runners doing this race with you, get advice on training by posting a note on the discussion board, and make new friends. Another feature we're excited about is the DRC Half blog. It is going to allow you some additional insight into the details and news of this race with routine posts.

The Dallas Running Club Half Marathon, lovingly referred to locally in the past as “The Half”, was originally organized in 1976 to fill a niche between the 10K and marathon length races. This event now stands as a fixture on the racing calendar and a premier running event in the North Texas area and is one of the oldest and largest half marathons in the US. Under the direction of the Dallas Running Club, this race has a reputation of being a “runners’ race” but with a generous course time limit is well-attended by walkers and casual runners as well. As the sole running event the first weekend in November in an otherwise busy fall schedule, runners target this race for its additional challenge or as a training run for marathons, particularly in training for the Dallas White Rock Marathon in December. It's timed perfectly to test your summer training!
With the great combination of more runners accepting the challenge and rewards of longer-distance events, the race’s reputation, and the calendar position, the Dallas Running Club Half Marathon is a premier running event in North Texas. Runners look forward to the party-like atmosphere of the post-race festivities. Each year runners expect and enjoy a high quality technical shirt because it is an area in which DRC spares no expense. Participants wear the distinctive shirts for many years as a sign of pride in having run the race.
Participants pre-registered by October 1, 2008 receive a personalized bib number. Runners enjoy a great course circling around White Rock Lake and through scenic neighborhoods in central Dallas. All half marathon finishers receive a colored finisher medal.
There are early registration entry fees available and additional discounts only for DRC Members.
