The Run
Start out in front of Ascension Coffee next to the big, blue baby. You can’t miss it.
Move up Oak Lawn Rd towards the highway. Right before you hit the I-35 service road, you’ll run into the slightly hidden Trinity Strand trailhead. Take the trail north through the Design District neighborhood. The 2.3 miles is continuous without any traffic stops or intersections.
Keep your eye out for interesting art and murals. Also, make sure to take your time at the Dallas Circle of Heroes. On July 7, 2016, a gunman ambushed police in Downtown Dallas taking 5 lives. The Dallas Circle of Heroes Memorial honors those fallen officers. You’ll see the memorial about a mile into your run.
When you make it to Farrington St, turn back around for your last half. Happy running!
