Celebration White Rock is our annual 5K and 10K race dedicated to supporting the preservation and enhancement of White Rock Lake Park.

Each year, participants of all ages come together to enjoy a scenic run along the shores of White Rock Lake, followed by a festive after-party featuring music, local food, and drinks.

All proceeds benefit the White Rock Lake Conservancy, aiding in vital park improvements and projects.

Celebration White Rock is the largest fundraiser of the year for White Rock Lake Conservancy, a 501(c)3, that partners with the City of Dallas and its Park and Recreation Department to support implementation of the park’s master plan through major fundraising initiatives. The past Celebration White Rock events have helped fund the phases of the Stone Tables restoration project and signage all around the lake.
