About the Dallas Running Club

The Dallas Running Club (“DRC” or the “Club”) was founded in 1969 as a grassroots organization dedicated to building and supporting the Dallas running community. Founder Tal Morrison started the Club by stopping runners he met around White Rock Lake, collecting their contact information, and inviting them to join him for group runs. The Dallas Running Club has remained a grassroots running club serving the Dallas running community for over 55 years. DRC hosts four club races of varying distances each year, as well as two annual half marathons. Proceeds from the half marathons help fund the Tal Morrison Scholarship, established in honor of the Club’s founder and his passion for health and fitness. The scholarship provides financial assistance to graduating students who actively participate in their school’s cross-country running programs.

While DRC races may be small, they are full of heart. DRC is a 100 percent volunteer-run organization, and its success is made possible by individuals who generously give their time to support the Dallas running community. We are glad you are here to race with us and hope you will consider volunteering in the future.

Looking westward across the Trinity valley, the view is dominated by giant AT&T Stadium, The Ball Park in Arlington, Six Flags Family Park, and even the downtown Forth Worth skyline. Cedar Hill State Park, with its hills wrapping around a big lake, is the most prominent feature to the southwest.

Our course consists of an 11.2-ish mile loop that covers multiple trails that will include Texas Sunset, SXSW, Dragonfly, Copper Head Ridge, Ranger, and Barbwire. These trails are known for their challenging terrain, with varying elevation, technical trails, and natural obstacles like rocks, roots, and dirt.

Raising awareness about T1D

Camp Sweeney's Play for the Day was created 14 years ago by a group of Camp Sweeney camper parents to raise awareness for T1D, or type 1 diabetes. T1D affects 1 in 400 children and can lead to devastating medical complications such as eye disease, kidney disease, and damaged cardiovascular and nervous systems. However, proper diabetes management can greatly reduce the probability of future complications. Camp Sweeney provides these children with a motivating support system to overcome these struggles.

Raising funds for campers

Half of the children who come to Camp Sweeney need financial aid. Camp Sweeney's Play for the Day helps raise campership dollars to support those families in need. Since its inception, Play for the Day has raised over $1.15 million. This year's goal is our most ambitious yet at $200,000.

Providing community fellowship

Camp Sweeney's Play for the Day serves as Camp Sweeney's kickstart for the summer. Campers and their families can come out to meet returning and new counselors. The community to gather to have a fun family-friendly morning with activities and fellowship. It is a great way to spend Memorial Day.

Play for the Day will go on RAIN or SHINE!

What is a Splash and Dash?

A Splash and Dash is a fun and fast-growing sport that combines running and swimming. The run can take place on a trail, a road, or a path. Similarly, the swim can take place in any body of water – a pool, a reservoir, or an ocean. This USA Triathlon (USAT) Splash & Dash Youth Aquathlon Series will feature a swim(pool)/run combination.

Why Participate?

Get a chance to try out the multisport lifestyle. It will really help you to “get your feet wet!” Meet friends and other youth athletes who are interested, and also engage in the multisport lifestyle! Less equipment is required compared to that of a triathlon since a Splash and Dash (aquathlon) does not require a bike.

What is USAT?

USAT or USA Triathlon is the national governing body for the multi-sport disciplines of triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon, and winter triathlon in the United States.

What are the Youth distances?

USAT youth events are for ages 6 -15 years. There are two categories, Youth Junior and Youth Senior. See below for age groups and distances for events.
