Dallas Running Club - Welcome All Dallas & Fort Worth Area Runners & Walkers

The 2009 MetroPCS Dallas White Rock Half Marathon presented by NexBank will feature the Dallas Running Club Pace Team as their official race pacing team. The Dallas Running Club Pace Team promises to provide fun and excitement for both first time and experienced half marathoners looking to reach their running goals – whether that's a personal best or just getting across the finish line. We have 2-person teams of pacers for 6 different popular goal finish times. Be one of the first 100 to sign up online to connect with your pace team leaders, and you will receive a special gift from Dallas Running Club at the marathon expo.

How It Works

Each Pace Leader will run even splits (every mile will be run in the same amount of time) throughout the half marathon, and by following your Pace Team leader, you'll cross the line within a couple minutes of your goal finishing time. During the race, your Pace Team leader will also remind you to drink and eat, as well as offer words of encouragement. Keep in mind, you don’t have to stick with your Pace Team leader the whole race - we want you to run your own race according to how you feel. The pace leaders are merely there as a guide. If the pace feels too slow in the beginning of the race, that's normal. Remember, it's a long race and what feels slow at the start will help ensure you have energy to get through the full 13.1 miles! If the pace is too fast, slow down. If you feel like you can go faster, speed up. It's your race, and we're here to help you enjoy it so that you will want to come back year after year.

We have 2-person pace teams for the following goal half marathon finish times: 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, 2:30.

Sign up online for FREE to follow your DRC Pace Team between now and race day. The first 100 runners to register with the DRC pace team will receive a free gift at packet pick-up. Sign Up Here.
