We want to help you get your coworkers out of those desk chairs and a little more active! Show your company pride and bond as a group while you are at it! Before October 1, get at least 10 employees registered, and we'll put your company name on all your bibs! Get 40 or more employees, and you'll all get a special colored bib to identify your group. It's this simple - get them to register for the race and list your company name under Employer when registering. Get more info on the challenge here...
They are training 450 Dallas Running Club members who are enrolled in the DRC Fall 2008 Half and Full Marathon Training Program, and now they will pace you too! 14 coaches from the training program will be serving as the official Pace Team of the DRC Half Marathon. Each Pace Leader will run even splits (every mile will be run in the same amount of time) throughout the half marathon, and by following your Pace Team leader, you'll cross the line within a couple minutes of your goal finishing time. We have bios and pictures of the full Pace Team, and there are opportunities in the next few months to meet your Pace Leader. Learn more about the Pace Team...
We have teamed up with "Legion 1" (or more properly, 1st Platoon, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division) who are planning to remotely participate in the DRC Half Marathon and will receive bibs, event technical shirts by New Balance, and finisher medals. We are looking for people to sponsor a Marine with either a donation of money or supplies. Money donated will fund their DRC Half entry, allow us to buy them much needed supplies, and also ship all these items. Get more info here on how you can get involved...

Present in the new logo is the green and blue of White Rock Lake - this is the only fall half marathon in Dallas that goes around this beautiful running and cycling mecca of our city! This race is a great source of pride for the club, spelling our Dallas Running Club at the top and including the DRC logo near the bottom. As an event past its 30th year, the shield is an emblem, of the institution of running in Dallas and of the history of this event as a standard on the running calendar.
And of course the Dallas skyline, viewable over the treeline during the race, is included in our logo.
