Run4Bibles Trail Run

Lace up for an unforgettable trail experience at the Run4Bibles Trail Run on March 7, 2026, in Dallas, TX. Held at the scenic Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve, this event offers a range of distances including a Marathon (26.2M), Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K, 5K, and a 1M fun run, catering to every level of trail enthusiast. This moderately strenuous course is renowned as one of the toughest and most popular trail races in the DFW/North Texas area, promising a challenging yet rewarding adventure. Runners will navigate a diverse terrain featuring mulch, solid rock, gravel, dirt paths, natural steps, and charming wooden bridges over small creeks. Expect a dynamic route with switchbacks, flat stretches, and significant ascents and descents, all within a beautiful wooded setting that includes a large pond, a lookout tower, and a birdwatching hut. Typical race day conditions in early March offer pleasant running weather, with highs around 68°F and lows around 48°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation.

The Run4Bibles Trail Run is more than just a race; it's an event with a mission. Your participation supports Equip Disciples Bible study groups in Rwanda and DR Congo, as well as the ongoing maintenance of the Cedar Ridge Nature Preserve. Aid stations, strategically placed at the start/finish and approximately every 2-3 miles along the course, will provide water, Gatorade, and an assortment of sweet and salty snacks to keep you fueled. Remember that this is a cupless event, so bring your own hydration system to refill. Finishers of the Half Marathon and overall winners in other categories will be awarded unique hand-carved wooden medals from DR Congo, a truly special memento of your achievement and contribution. Free race photos will also be available for download from the Run4Bibles Facebook page, allowing you to relive the challenge and camaraderie.
