About the Watermelon Dash Dallas
A summer series race in Dallas built around a theme rather than a time goal. The course draws families and casual runners, and the watermelon angle carries through the whole morning. It sits at the end of a warm-weather series alongside sister races named for other summer treats, so the crowd tends to arrive already knowing each other.
