The Run the Highlands event celebrates its 21st year in Dallas, Texas. This community gathering takes place in the Lake Highlands area and includes various participation options and activities.

The available distances and activities include:

The 5k Run begins across from the Lake Highlands North Aquatic Center. The 1-mile Family Trail Walk includes entertainment along the route. Participants can also visit a children's carnival featuring games and activities. A warm-up session is provided before the start of the races.
Official packet pick-up is scheduled for the two days preceding the race at Vector Brewing, as well as on the morning of the event at a tent near the starting line.
