Neighborhood Running and Walking Groups

Our members run and walk all over the Dallas metroplex. We know that a reason a lot of runners and walkers join DRC is to interact with other people with those same interests. To that end, we want to help facilitate that by publicizing runs in the Dallas metroplex.

Featured Runs Rewarded by the Club

When growing our list of neighborhood running groups, from October to December 2006, we featured runs each month to be provided refreshments or snacks by the club. We had coffee for one group, bagels for another, gatorade for another.

Want to be rewarded for interacting with other members? Email libby@dallasrunningclub.com to get your run listed below and to be eligible for treats youself!

We suggest you always call, email, or check the listed website (whichever of these is applicable) to make sure the run is happening that week!
