DALLAS — Fans who attend Wednesday night's Dallas Mavericks game will not only get to catch a glimpse of 7-foot, 4-inch French sensation Victor Wembanyama, but also see a riveting race in the stands.
The Mavs told WFAA that in honor of American Heart Month, and appropriately held on Valentine's Day, they're partnering with UT Southwestern to hold a marathon contest to promote heart health awareness and advocacy. In section 101, a team of UTSW medical staff will race side-by-side on a treadmill against a marathon runner.
UTSW partners every year with the Dallas Heart Walk, which drew 2,700 registered walkers and 198 teams in 2023. The UT Southwestern community raised over $39,000 for the American Heart Association.
