Race Information:
The Sixth Annual Big D Texas Marathon:
This is one of the most beautiful marathon courses you will ever run. We may be a bit prejudiced because we love the beauty of Dallas, Texas when it is in early spring bloom. All the trees and shrubs will be in full foliage with all the flowering plants in spring bloom. We have designed our course so you can see Dallas at its' finest.
You start and end on the historic grounds of the great State Fair of Texas. The fairground's art deco architecture and stunning landscape will set the mood of the day. Once you leave the State fairgrounds you head north and you soon run into the beautiful neighborhoods surrounding the crown jewel of central Dallas, White Rock Lake. In addition to the beauty of the Rock, where all Dallas' runners go to do their long runs, the beautiful and luxurious homes are a vision. Once you leave White Rock you head into a part of the course that will have treelined parks on one side and beautiful homes on the other. Location of Start/Finish Line:
The Big D Texas Marathon events will start and end in historical Fair Park in the shadow of the Cotton Bowl near downtown Dallas, Texas. There will be plenty of free parking available at Fair Park and you can relax, stretch and prepare for The Big D Texas Marathon in the beautiful surroundings of Fair Park.
Course Time Limit:
The start line will close at 8:15 a.m. If you arrive late, you may not be allowed to start. We will keep the finish line and course open for 61/2 hours. This allows walkers to compete at a 15.40 minute per mile pace. It does not allow for long stops. We would appreciate all to meet course time limits.

New! ChronoTrack Timing at Big D:
The Texas Marathon will use the new ChronoTrack timing system, which records your time precisely from start to finish. Chrontrack is the latest timing technology. Your timing tag is now disposable and will come with your bib number when you get your race packet. No more lining up to get your timing chip race morning, and no waiting to have your timing chip retrieved at the finish line! Awards will be based on gun time.
Fees:
Entry fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. No exceptions. This means once we receive your entry, you will not receive a refund if you cannot participate and you may not sell or give your entry to anyone else. If you cannot participate, we will be happy to mail your Texas Marathon T-shirt to you upon request.
