2018 Dallas Marathon/Half Marathon/Relay!
Hello Runners and Cheer Team for Team Silva!
We’re excited to run this Sunday in honor of Austin. We’re thankful for you coming on this journey with us!
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear…” Psalm 46:1-2a, is our theme verse as Austin loved this chapter and who doesn’t need to be reminded of this truth?! There are about 37 runners on Team Silva. Most of them doing the half or the relay and a few brave full marathoners!
We’re gonna give you some general information on this for runners and spectators. but the best source is the race website at www.bmwdallasmarathon.com
Packets
Pickup you packets on Friday(11a-7p) & Saturday (9a-6p) at Dallas Convention Center. No Sunday pick up. One packet
For clothing for Sunday, I will run in long sleeve shirt and then wear my Team Silva shirt over it, leggings, gloves, thin ear warmer. Layers are always best.
Team Photo & Prayer
Before the race, we would love to meet at Pioneer Plaza at 7:45am. (Yellow star is the cattle at Pioneer Plaza) Whoever can make it, that would be great. It might be hard for some of the relay members. It’s ok if you can’t. If you’re not taking the DART, make plenty of time for traffic and parking. The race starts and ends at Dallas City Hall. (location shown on Map)
College Kids -If you go for a run representing Austin this weekend, send us a pic. We miss you and praying for you guys as you finish your semesters well! We look forward to seeing some of you there!
General Directions.
Map yourself to Dallas City Hall (come around the south side)
Take 75 to I-30 West. Exit Ervay, pass St. Paul and Ervay, and take a right on Akard. There is some parking between Cadiz and Canton.
There is also some parking on the south side of the convention center. After that, you may need to be more creative. Use the Best Parking app.
CARPOOL down to race. Kids like to take the train but it can take a long time.
Race Map is (attached)
You will see the relay teams go all the way around White Rock Lake and back. Half Marathoners do the smaller loop.
We’ll try to send out more info on this before the race so you can have a better chance to track runners.
Spectators Map (attached)
Cheering stations are noted. Go before or after the to avoid the crowds. The last 4-6 miles might be a good spot to watch the half marathoners. Although the race starts at 8:30, most of us will probably start a few minutes after that as they stage the runners.

Marathon and Half Marathon
Half Marathon Runners should finish in 2, 2.5 hours, or more.
Relays & Marathon runners should finish in 4-4.5 hours (my guess)
Relay Notes
Relay teams (Team Silva, Running for Austin, Team Austin Silva, Slow Snailing)
Relay teams, be sure you are coordinating rides, etc. It can get crazy!
There is a shuttle provided. Use it if it works for you. (Relay Shuttle Map attached)
Also, if the relay team comes for the photo at 7:45, leave your 1st runner at the start, and make sure you have a plan to get to the 1st handoff in time.
After Party
Come to Atomic Pies in Lake Highlands 1:00-2:30p and enjoy some pizza. Hopefully, you’ve recovered a bit. I will have some pizzas, salad, and cake preordered. You could call call ahead to order extra food if you want.
Thank you!
Thank you again. It will be fun! Take pictures where you can and send them to us! Let us know if you have any questions.
