    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.

    Love Never Ends Trail Series presents "The Great Root Trail Race," and we are so excited to be coming back to Big Cedar Wilderness Trails!

    Whether you run, ruck, or hike -- we have an adventure ready for you!

    Big Cedar Wilderness Trails is on the grounds of Mountain Creek Church. It is located atop one of the most breathtaking escarpment areas in North Texas. Situated on over 100 acres, our trails wind through cedar and hardwood forest and descend quickly into a valley in a dramatic elevation change. From the trails you can view iconic landmarks of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. 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. Click the following link to see the Big Cedar trail system and race loop segments. https://www.trailforks.com/region/big-cedar-wilderness-trails/?activitytype=5

    Runners, Ruckers, and Hikers of all levels can expect a tough but rewarding experience, as the event takes place in a beautiful but rugged natural setting. The race is not just a physical challenge but also an opportunity for trail runners to immerse themselves in nature.

    Rucking division: Required weight eligible for awards - Male- 30lbs. and Female- 20lbs. All else will receive a participant challenge coin

    For any updates please check the official website or social media page under:

    Packet Pick Up will be held at Trailhead Running Supply in Flower Mound on Thursday, March 26 (3:00pm -7pm.)

    Friday, March 27 at Big Cedar Wilderness Pavilion (noon-6pm) and Saturday, March 28 at Big Cedar Wilderness Pavilion (race day 5:00am-8am)

    Runners will receive t-shirts and medals. Rucker's will receive t-shirts and challenge coins.

    If you sign up the week of race I can not guarantee a t-shirt. Our shirt order is put in 2 weeks ahead of race day. Thank you for understanding!

    Bring your own hydration bottles (cupless race), poles, and headlamps.

    Parking is free but we are asking for cash donations to give back to the Mountain Creek Church and Big Cedar Trails.

    Lace up your shoes, embrace the challenge, and have fun!

    Let's make a difference with The Great Root Movement 501(c)(3) Nonprofit, as proceeds go to those experiencing grief, domestic violence, and PTSD. Together, we are pacing others across finish lines once thought impossible.
