White Rock Lake in Dallas – Location of DRC Races

Located at Northwest Highway (Loop 12), just east of Central Expressway, White Rock Lake has a pleasant setting and park trails which amount to about 9 miles for one loop. Runners come from all over the metroplex to train and run races held at the lake. The path segment which opened in April 2001 shortened the distance by about 200'. The Veloway which opened last month shortened the distance by about 400'. But going around Winfrey Point, instead of up and over it, adds about 0.25-mile. So the entire loop now measures about 9.10 instead of 8.96.

Most Club Races in 2008 start and finish at Winfrey Point.
