Subject: Where to Swim Bike Run in downtown Dallas, Texas?
Hello
I have to be in Dallas for week for work (M-F) . I will be staying near the conference center downtown. I am looking for places to swim (lap pool) near that area. Also spin classes since I won't have my bike. And also safe areas to run.

I am training for NC 70.3 and while I can just run if I have to I'd like swim once if I can and spin one day.

Thank you for any insight and tips!

I live in Dallas and it's a great place to train! For swimming, there's an LA Fitness on a street called Haskell Ave which I'm sure will give you a free 1 week trial if you call ahead. It's very close to downtown and they also do Spin classes or you can go to Soul Cycle (10 mins from downtown) if you feel like spending $30 on a class . As for running, the Katy Trail is tough to beat. It's impossible to get lost as it's a 3.5 mile straight out and back (7 mile run end to end), there's a distance marker every 1/4 mile and there are multiple entry/exit points. If you have more time and feel like venturing 15 - 20 mins, White Rock Lake is also a great place to run. It's a 9 mile loop around the lake. Hope this helps and welcome to TX!

Are you locked into a specific hotel? Do you have to be within walking distance of the convention center, or would a short cab/uber drive away be OK? The Hilton Anatoli, about 3 miles north of the Convention Center, has an attached health club (Verandah Club) with a 7 lane, 25M indoor lap pool and spin studio.

When I am in Dallas I run the trail around white rock lake and up along white rock creek.  I always see cyclist on that trail too.  Last time I was there I did a 16 mile run on a Saturday morning.  I am not sure how far White Rock lake is from where you will be but I imagine that you could get their with out a challenge.  Where I live there aren't any trails like what they have in Dallas.  We run on dirt roads and through cow pastures where I live.  I love, love, love running in Dallas. I can still feel the walnut size rocks on the road I run beating up my feet through my soft soled shoes..  Smooth trials are heavenly. :-)

I travel quite a bit and have found this website to be helpful, and up to date, for locating pools.
