Event Location: Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge

The 15th Annual Trinity River Levee Run includes a 5K, 10K, and a Half Marathon!

Each course includes the rare opportunity to run across the beautiful Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.

And only the Levee Run gives you the experience of start and finish lines on the bridge!

Entry includes a free Levee Run t-shirt for the first 4,000 to register, chip timing with live results posted online, and a unique finisher’s medal!

The 5K and 10K courses are on paved streets and trails.

The Half Marathon takes you on a unique journey along the Trinity River near downtown Dallas. The course is mixed-surface, with gravel, dirt, asphalt, and concrete.

The Half includes the Trinity River Levee gravel and dirt roads, the Santa Fe Trestle, the paved Trinity Skyline Trail, and the Ronald Kirk Pedestrian Bridge.

Due to the difficult and varied surfaces, the Half Marathon is not recommended for people that are not experienced with mixed surfaces and that are not ready for a challenging run!

The Trinity River Levee Run is part of All Out Trinity, a full day of outdoor events for the entire family!

Cost: $30 – $60
