Organiser's Description

WELCOME TO THE 51ST ANNUAL DRC'S THE HALF (HALF MARATHON, 10K & 5K)

The Dallas Running Club ("DRC" or "Club") was created in 1969 as a grassroots running club to build and support the Dallas running community. Tal Morrison was the founder and he started the Club by stopping runners he saw out on White Rock Lake and getting their contact information to invite them to join him for a run. The Dallas Running Club still remains a grassroots running club serving the Dallas running community for over 50 years. The Club offers five club races, of varying distances, and two half marathons a year. The half marathons help fund the Tal Morrison Scholarship Fund. This is a scholarship that was created in honor of the Clubs founder who had a passion for health and fitness. The scholarships provide assistance to graduating students that have an active participation in their schools cross-country running program.

While DRCs races may be small but they are full of heart. DRC is a one hundred percent volunteer organization. The Club is a success because of those who choose to give of their time to the Dallas running community. We are happy you are here to join us for a race and hope you consider volunteering.

For over five decades, this race has been a celebration of our running home - White Rock Lake - and its beautiful trails. DRCs The Half benefitting DRC and the Tal Morrison Scholarship Fund.
