MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Marathon at Fair Park
Our race has moved to Fair Park! We loved our previous race locations, but our runner numbers continue to grow year after year, selling out the past three years. As a result we have had to move the race start and finish several times over our 41 year history, first from White Rock Lake to Dallas City Hall, then to the American Airlines Center in Victory Park, and now to Fair Park.
Fair Park provides us with expanded parking options (including free parking on race day until 8AM), a larger start and finish location, and plenty of open space to accommodate the infrastructure necessary for a 22,000 participant race.
Fair Park is also one of the most historically significant parts of Dallas. The 30-structure complex constitutes the largest intact concentration of 1930s-era exposition buildings and public art remaining in the United States. It is also recognized as one of the most significant sites in the world for Art Deco architecture.
Today, Fair Park is a 277-acre venue containing one of the largest complexes of year-round cultural, entertainment, exhibit and sports facilities in the U.S. Southwest, including the recently renovated Esplanade Bellagio-style fountains, and museums such as the Women’s Museum and the Museum of Nature and Science.
Our Health & Fitness Expo will take place in the Automotive Building in Fair Park on Friday, Dec. 3rd from 12:00 until 6:00pm and on Saturday, Dec. 4th from 9:00am until 6:00pm. The Mayor’s Race 5k takes place Saturday, Dec. 4th at 9:00am adjacent to the Automotive Building. The marathon, half marathon, and relay races take place Sunday, Dec. 5th at 8:00am. Detailed maps for the start/finish, parking, full and half marathon courses, and areas of interest will be posted on our web site during the next few months as plans are finalized.
