Ambassadors

runDallas is launching its first-ever Ambassador Program for the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival! We are seeking enthusiastic runners who are familiar with or excited about promoting the 2021 (our 50th anniversary) BMW Dallas Marathon Festival and who identify with our mission of “promoting health and physical fitness through running events and related activities.” Our community of enthusiastic runners is always growing, and we want you to help us spread reliable information, promote health, and inspire individuals to reach their goals.

*We are no longer accepting ambassador applications for 2020-2021. Please stay tuned for opportunities to apply for 2021-2022 in the summer of 2021.
