All runners registered for the 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival may select one of three options:
*As a reminder, all registered participants must make their selection by October 31st. If no selection is made, your registration will be automatically rolled over to our in-person event rescheduled for April 30th – May 2nd, 2021.
**If you choose to participate in the BMW Pegasus 50th Challenge or the 2020 Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon, you will receive your event shirts, medal, and other swag ahead of Sunday, December 13th. The virtual race can be competed at any time from December 13th – 31st, 2020. For more information about our virtual events, please click HERE.
The May Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon is a race experience on your own time and your own course (i.e. treadmill, park, neighborhood, etc.). Guests can run or walk the distance they are registered for at a location of their choice between Saturday, May 1st and Monday, May 31st. While we encourage the distance to be completed in one segment, guests may choose to complete their race distance over multiple days.
Guests may choose from the 50K Ultra Marathon, Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K.
Anyone can participate! We encourage your friends and family to join you in your virtual event. Please note, the virtual event is only available to US-domestic participants.
May Virtual event registration will be open until Wednesday, March 31st.
All runners registered for the 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival may select one of three options:
Registration fees are non-refundable. The BMW Dallas Marathon Festival and the runDallas organization operate as a non-profit with the mission of promoting health & wellness in the DFW area while supporting other non-profit organizations (i.e. Scottish Rite for Children, the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival primary beneficiary).
Registration fees are critical for runDallas to operate throughout the year, create an amazing event experience you have come to expect, and support local non-profit beneficiaries.
May Virtual event packets will be mailed in early April and are expected to arrive to registered guests by Friday, April 30th. When registering, please double check you have entered your valid mailing address with all the necessary information (street address, city, state, zip code and apartment / unit number if applicable). All registered guests will receive the race amenities listed above via mail.
If you have registered for an event and need to make a change to your mailing address, please contact us at info@runDallas.com.
Run or walk your race at a time that works best for you between Saturday, May 1st and Wednesday, May 31st.
We recommend choosing a course for your virtual event that is first and foremost safe & free from heavy vehicular traffic and secondly one that you are familiar with. Now whether you would like to challenge yourself by choosing a course that has more inclines / declines, one that has many turns, or one that is on various surfaces is completely up to you. See below a few tips for choosing / creating your course:
While we look forward to hosting you on the official 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival course in-person, we do not recommend running or walking our course for your virtual event. The official course is a non-pedestrian course and will not be closed to vehicular traffic in May at any point for our virtual event.
We recommend using the Runkeeper app to track & time your run or walk. The Runkeeper app is available on most Smartphones and can be used on an AppleWatch. Other tracking apps and watches may also be used (Garmin, Strava, Map My Run, etc.). Please ensure you accurately record your distance & time or upload a screenshot of your distance & time to your Race Roster dashboard HERE.
On your Race Roster dashboard, select “Add Activity.” On the next screen you will input the date and time of your activity and the distance covered.
If you are participating in a virtual challenge and would like to use the Runkeeper app, an email will be sent to you a week before the virtual event begins. Add your event to your Runkeeper app by clicking the link provided in the email. When you’re ready to participate:
We will not be offering top finisher or age group finisher awards for the May Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon. The virtual event experience is one that is based on the honor system and one that has a large variance in types of terrain and course design amongst guests. With that, we do not feel it is rational to award anyone for their specific performance outside of finishing the event distance. We will however be awarding those who embrace the virtual event through fun new awards! Keep an eye on our social media for daily prizes during the virtual timeframe (May 1st - 31st).
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to offering top finisher and age group awards at the in person 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival.
While your virtual course might be the best designed course it is not officially certified, therefore times ran / walked are not eligible to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
The BMW Pegasus 50th Challenge is a new & exciting way to experience both the May Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon and the in person 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival on December 10th - 12th, 2021. Simply register for an event for the May Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon and the in person 50th Anniversary of the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival and receive:
Anyone not currently registered has the following options to participate with us at one or both of our upcoming events:
*If you choose to participate in the BMW Pegasus 50th Challenge or the 2020 Virtual BMW Dallas Marathon, you will receive your event shirts, medal, and other swag ahead of Sunday, December 13th. The virtual race can be competed at any time from December 13th – 31st, 2020. For more information about our virtual events, please click HERE.

*Denotes fastest finish in race history.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
