DRC's The Half starts at 8:00 AM, giving you a reasonable window to get to the Dallas venue without an extremely early wake-up. The race takes place at 200 N Buckner Boulevard and offers three distances: a 1-mile option, a 6.2-mile race, and a half marathon. Entry fees range from $35 to $105 depending on your chosen distance and registration timing. Whether you're targeting the full 13.1 miles or prefer a shorter effort, you'll have options that fit your current fitness level or race goals. The November 1st date puts the event in fall, typically favorable running conditions in the Dallas area. Plan your hotel stay accordingly, and arrive with enough time before the 8:00 AM start to pick up your bib and settle in.
