THE STARTING LINE
Two friends and avid runners sat down and sparked this idea to bring people together over a shared love for running. The conversation was never about distance, pace, time, or even skill-level but about sharing this joy with others. In gratitude for this gift and the benefits of running, DMRC was established as a way to bring together our community, share a love for running, and most importantly praise Allah (SWT) for the strength and ability to wake up every day with a grateful mind, body and soul. Alhamdul’illah.
What began as a dinner conversation quickly flourished into what is now Dallas Muslim Running Club, established Summer 2021. Follow along on our journey to build community, improve health, and care for the amanah we have over our bodies.
May Allah (SWT) increase this ummah in health, allow us all to reach our personal goals, and continue to lead everyone on the right path.
THE PURPOSE
Why Running? Your body is an Amanah of Allah (SWT). Taking care of our bodies and health is our duty as Muslims. Running demands a level of mental strength that sheds awareness on our weaknesses as believers, gives us instant gratitude for our abilities, and in the midst of every run there is a constant reminder of Allah (SWT).
His love for us can be felt through the small things: the animals seen playing along a trail as we run by, the successful race finished, the PRs, the goals we fail to achieve, and every ache felt after a run knowing that our goals were only achieved by His mercy and blessings. Our fragility brings us closer to our Creator. May Allah (SWT) accept from us our good deeds, increase us in strength, and allow DMRC to be a means of inspiration to other communities who wish to grow closer to Him.
