DFW runners are all abuzz about The Half, which takes place Sunday at White Rock at 8 a.m. It's the Dallas Running Club's premier event. Online registration closes in, oh, about an hour and 45 minutes, so if you haven't gotten your act together, head to the Dallas Run On! Wednesday through Saturday to register in person. There is no race-day registration. The Half is $60 for non-DRC members and the 5K is $25.
The race promises to be fun, fast and flat, so even if you're not running, get out there to cheer on the runners. They can always use your support!
Flat? Around the lake, yes; on the streets away from the lake, not so much.

Hey Mike, I looked at the elevation map for the course after I wrote this entry, and man - not so flat! Here it is if anyone else is curious: www.mapmyrace.com/races/DRCHalf2007. It's hard to be a fan of leaving the flat lake for Fisher Road! I've never been down Sperry Street, but it looks...challenging, to say the least. Good luck!

When the course starts away from the lake, it's similar to the Tour de Fleurs 20K - up Fisher, over that bridge at Rockaway Drive and then down Santa Barbara - but where the 20K then headed back to the lake, for the half you get to run around the Lakewood hills for a while longer.
