Arrive early. Please allow ample time to familiarize yourself with this area, locate parking, etc. A pre-race medical station for Band-Aids and Vaseline will be located in the tent in Parking Lot G. Pre-race water stations will be located at the start area. Plan to use the portable restroom facilities located in Parking Lot G.
Bag checking facilities will be available next to packet pick-up between the start and finish lines. Please pick up all items by 12:30pm. Unclaimed items will be donated to charity. Note: Bag check location subject to change. You will receive a set of "Final Instructions" when you pick up your packet which will contain the final bag check location.
Runners should line up at the starting area at least 15 minutes early. Please line up in the start area according to your expected pace – faster runners in the front, slower runners in the back to insure a safer start for everyone. Since your chip indicates your official time, there is no need to crowd the starting line. Elite runners will be positioned at the very front. Please do not enter the elite holding area at the starting line unless a race official checks you in.
Please prearrange a meeting place with loved ones BEFORE the race starts. We will not be able to use the public address system to reunite runners with their families.
Remember, this is Texas! One never knows about the weather. Normal for mid-March is about 55 degrees Fahrenheit at the start and 70 degrees Fahrenheit at 2:00 p.m. Click here for Dallas weather.
