Official Rules

Course Rules

Runners, Walkers and Wheelchair Participants Only

In accordance with the guidelines issued by USA Track & Field and Wheelchair Sports USA, only runners, walkers and wheelchair participants will be allowed on the course. The term “wheelchair,” as defined for this event, means only push-rim wheelchairs. In addition, guidelines for participants in wheelchairs state that all chairs must be equipped with brakes and participants must wear helmets. The Race Director, in his sole discretion, may refuse entry to the course for any wheelchair participant who does not have wheelchairs, brakes or head protection acceptable to the Race Director. Any participant who, in the sole determination of the Race Director, is a hazard to himself or any participant or spectator, may be removed from the course and, in such an event, will be disqualified from the race.

Items Prohibited On-Course

The following are prohibited on the course: runners going backwards, jump ropes, animals (dogs, cats, birds or any other exotic or domestic pets!), bicycles, baby strollers, baby joggers, roller skates, in-line skates, and skateboards. No wheeled vehicles are allowed other than wheelchairs. No exceptions.

Electronic Devices & Headsets

We expect all participants to use good judgment and take responsibility for their actions should they wear an iPod or similar device during the race. We do ask that all participants be able to hear last minute instructions both at the start and finish lines, and that the ear buds be removed at these locations.

Additional Guidelines

In some areas, only the side of the road runners are on will be closed to vehicular traffic. As such, it is imperative that you stay within the cones marking the course. Any deviations from the marked race course can result in a disqualification.

It is our intent to provide the safest possible race course. Those who participate in violation of these rules will be disqualified and removed from the course.

Foot runners and authorized vehicles have the right-of-way at all times. Wheelchair participants must yield the right-of-way to foot runners and to course vehicles.

Any assistance received from anyone other than an official race volunteer or other course official may result in a disqualification.

Time Limit

Full Marathon Time Limit: 6.5 Hours

Runners, joggers and walkers are all welcomed to participate. We applaud all those who set out to complete the Marathon distance, regardless of the pace. The race is permitted through the City of Dallas and we use officers from the Dallas Police Department to monitor traffic along the route to keep the runners safe. Our permit requires us to reopen the public streets we run on to vehicular traffic after a certain time period, and thus the need for a time limit.

This is a pace of 14:50 (min:sec) per mile for the marathon. For your own safety, we strongly discourage you from participating in this event if you cannot maintain a pace of 14:50 (min:sec) per mile as all course support shuts down based on this pace.

If participants choose to continue running after the time limit, they do so at their own risk and will be required by the Dallas Police Department to move to available sidewalks and obey traffic signals and laws along the course.

*Finisher medallions and completion certificates will be awarded only to those who finish within the official time span.

Full Marathon Race Course Closing Schedule

The race course is closed to all traffic, and then re-opened based on a “ROVING” schedule, which means the course will officially re-open (to vehicular traffic) behind the participants based on a pace of 14:50 (min:sec) per mile. Crews drive in trucks at a pace approximately equal to 15 minutes per mile to pick up trash and supplies from the aid stations along the course.

Any person moving at a pace slower than 14:50 (min:sec) per mile is strongly encouraged to discontinue. Officials with the BMW Dallas Marathon and related parties take no responsibility for participants after the course reopens. All participants on the course after it reopens are required by law to follow all traffic rules, including using the sidewalks, cross walks, obeying cross walk signs, and not crossing streets while the traffic lights are red. In addition, once the race course closes and the streets reopen, all medical aid provided by the marathon is no longer accessible.

Half Marathon Time Limit: 4 Hours

Runners, joggers and walkers are all welcomed to participate. We applaud all those who set out to complete the Half Marathon distance, regardless of the pace. The race is permitted through the city of Dallas and we use officers from the Dallas Police Department to monitor traffic along the route to keep the runners safe. Our permit requires us to reopen the public streets we run on to vehicular traffic after a certain time period, and thus the need for a time limit.

This is a pace of 18:00 (min:sec) per mile for the half marathon. For your own safety, we strongly discourage you from participating in this event if you cannot maintain a pace of 18:00 (min:sec) per mile as all course support shuts down based on this pace.

If participants choose to continue running after the time limit, they do so at their own risk and will be required by the Dallas Police Department to move to available sidewalks and obey traffic signals and laws along the course.

*Finisher medallions and completion certificates will be awarded only to those who finish within the official time span.

Half Marathon Race Course Closing Schedule

The race course is closed to all traffic, and then re-opened based on a “ROVING” schedule, which means the half marathon course will officially re-open (to vehicular traffic) behind the participants based on a pace of 18:00 per mile. Crews drive in trucks at a pace approximately equal to 18 minutes per mile to pick up trash and supplies from the aid stations along the course.

Any person moving at a pace slower than 18:00 (min:sec) per mile is strongly encouraged to discontinue.

In addition, once the race course closes and the streets reopen, all medical aid provided by the marathon is no longer accessible.

Ultra Marathon Time Limit: 7 Hours

Runners, joggers and walkers are all welcomed to participate. We applaud all those who set out to complete the Ultra Marathon distance, regardless of the pace. The race is permitted through the City of Dallas and we use officers from the Dallas Police Department to monitor traffic along the route to keep the runners safe. Our permit requires us to reopen the public streets we run on to vehicular traffic after a certain time period, and thus the need for a time limit.

This is a pace of 13:30 (min:sec) per mile for the marathon. For your own safety, we strongly discourage you from participating in this event if you cannot maintain a pace of 13:30 (min:sec) per mile as all course support shuts down based on this pace.

If participants choose to continue running after the time limit, they do so at their own risk and will be required by the Dallas Police Department to move to available sidewalks and obey traffic signals and laws along the course.
