The Dallas White Rock Marathon is a marathon that has taken place in December in Dallas, Texas since 1971. An official time from the Dallas White Rock Marathon can be used to qualify for the Boston Marathon. The course is both hilly and flat involving running through downtown Dallas as well as the area surrounding White Rock Lake. In recent years, it has included the Mayors 5K race, a five person relay, and a half-marathon in addition to the traditional marathon race. The main beneficiary of the race is the Scottish Rite Hospital.

Along with the Houston Marathon and the Austin Marathon, the Dallas White Rock Marathon forms the first leg of the Marathons of Texas, a series of winter marathons held approximately one month apart from each other from December through February in Texas.
