Dallas half marathon racing is shaped by a city that has built its running identity around the water. The White Rock Lake corridor, the Katy Trail through Uptown, and the Santa Fe Trail connection into Deep Ellum give local training runs a character you feel in race courses too - long, open stretches where you can settle into a rhythm and actually think.
The running community here is loud and social, with group runs anchoring neighborhoods from Oak Cliff to Knox Street. Fall is when the city really leans in, and if you have spent any time on these trails on a Saturday morning you already know why - the weather finally cooperates, and everyone comes out at once.

We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
Across the 4 RunSignup half marathon editions with published results on RunSesh - walkers and charity entrants included - the median finisher crossed the line in 2:27:36. The median winner ran 1:13:48, and the last finisher's median was 3:58:18. These fields run the full range, so wherever you land, you won't be out there alone.
The median field size across races with published results is 208 finishers - big enough to have company throughout but not so massive you're lost in a crowd. With a median finish of 2:27:36 and last finishers regularly coming in near the 3:58:18 mark, these fields clearly welcome runners at every pace. Several races also offer 5K and 10K distances alongside the half if you want to build up gradually.
There are 8 run clubs in Dallas worth knowing about:
The Katy Trail corridor through Uptown and the White Rock Lake area are where group runs naturally concentrate, so any of these clubs will put you on courses you'll recognize come race day.
Entry fees run from $22 to $95, with a typical fee of $40. Four of the 10 races already have a price increase scheduled, so registering early is worth doing if you've found the race you want. Every race here says it gives a shirt.
Fall is by far the busiest stretch, with 6 of the 10 races falling between September and November. November alone has 4 races on the calendar. If fall doesn't fit your schedule, there are races in summer too - though July has just 1 on the books, so your options are thinner then.
Yes, one race around Dallas gets you off the pavement: 1 mixes road and trail. Surfaces are not always published, so it is worth checking a specific race before you register.
