Dallas Marathon Traffic Alert: View Course Map and Weekend Road Closures
The BMW Dallas Marathon, Texas’ longest-running marathon, is set to take place this weekend. This annual event is expected to attract tens of thousands of participants and spectators to the city’s streets. With a cold front moving in, temperatures are predicted to drop to near freezing on Saturday evening, before rising to a high of 44 degrees on Sunday.
Traffic and Road Closures During the Marathon
Significant road closures will occur throughout Dallas over the weekend. The marathon employs a rolling course closure method. This approach allows major intersections to remain open until the first runner approaches. Roads will reopen after the last runner passes, minimizing traffic disruptions.

- Downtown Dallas: Saturday from 7:30 AM to 10:03 AM; Sunday from 7:30 AM to 3:41 PM
- Highland Park and Uptown: Closed from 7:43 AM to 2:29 PM
- Lakewood Heights: Closed from 8:13 AM to 2:24 PM
- White Rock Lake: Closed from 8:23 AM to 1:55 PM
Motorists are advised to avoid these routes when possible. If you are unsure, it’s best to assume crossing the marathon route will not be possible.
