WHY RUN THE DALLAS HIP-HOP MARATHON

PLANO, TEXAS AT THE RED TAIL PAVILION.

The Hip Hop Marathon (HHM) is more than a race; it's an educational journey through the rich legacy and impact of Hip Hop culture. Each route pays tribute to the legends of Hip Hop, immersing participants in a living history that highlights the genre's roots and evolution. Through curated displays, live performances, and storytelling along the course, HHM celebrates Hip Hop as a source of knowledge, resilience, and unity. By participating, runners help fund Protect The Creatives' initiatives, including Rappers Against Pistols, a handgun buyback program, and our comprehensive Music Publishing and Live Performance Placement Program for songwriters. Together, we're running to uplift songwriters through education, wellness, and the enduring influence of culture, creativity and live performances.
