Mayor's 5K Fun Run

Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert is hosting the annual "Mayor's Race” 5K Fun Run and Walk as part of the race weekend for the Dallas White Rock Marathon. The 5K (3.1 mile) event is for both the serious runner looking to get a late year 5k race in before year-end, and for the casual runner looking for a running tour of Fair Park or for a way to involve the family in the weekend activities. Either way the Mayor’s Race 5k is sure to please.

The Mayor’s Race 5K features a scenic course around Dallas’ historic Fair Park. A shorter one-mile run and walk will immediately follow the start of the 5K.
