The Board of Directors of the Dallas White Rock Marathon (DWRM), the parent organization of runDallas and the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival, announced Paul Lambert, president of DWRM, has departed the organization.
Charles Peyton, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DWRM, will lead the organization with the support of Marcus Grunewald, Executive Director, and Jason Schuchard, Senior Marketing Director to transition from Lambert’s departure.
Lambert joined the Dallas White Rock Marathon organization in 2016, bringing 18 years’ experience in the running industry from ESPN/Disney’s Wide World of Sports to help the marathons grow and expand. During his tenure, he played a critical role in developing the organization, rebranding the year-round events as runDallas events and evolving the organization’s premier events each December into the BMW Dallas Marathon Festival.
“I appreciate my seven years spent with the team, and I’m very proud of our accomplishments over the past seven years,” said Lambert. Lambert is returning to Florida to be near his family and pursue other interests.
Peyton said he and the team are thankful for Paul’s service to the DWRM, and are looking forward to this year’s race weekend and looking ahead to 2024 and beyond
All of this year’s events will still go on as scheduled, Lambert’s work will be missed by his community.
