  • Comments: Great race! I've run it the last four years in a row. I'm not a huge fan of the new finishing course for the half marathon, but it was still a great race. Will definitely be running it again next year.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: This was my first big race and half marathon. I really wasn't experienced or prepared for all of the little things involved. The only thing I can think of that I did right was taking the Dart rail from Plano to downtown. I would have been stressed sitting in traffic to get to parking. Overall, this was a good race and things were run well. Improvement needs to be made on the event shirt pickup (45min wait after I had my bib) and I was disappointed with the post-race food.

  • Comments: The conditions were better last year, but I really liked the new course. If not for the wind, it would have been a smoking fast course. I loved the race last year, but this year was even better. Finisher's shirts are way better than the finisher's visors they gave out last year, and we even got "WR training" tech shirts at packet pickup. I'm all about the swag.

  • Comments: This was just too big of a race. I love bigger races, but this one seemed to lack some organization because of it, especially at the start and finish lines. The course is fun, with bands, and such, and is really beautiful. But the sheer number of people almost ruined it for me. I may come back some day, but I will just know what to expect next time.

  • Comments: I really can't say enough about this race. From the organization to the volunteers they really know how to do it right. Well placed and staffed aid stations. Great course marking and guides. Even finishers shirts. Can't wait to do it again next year!

  • Comments: This was my first White Rock event as a participant. Everything was run very well with lots of volunteers. I really liked the port-o-potties at the finish line. A great touch that I found especially useful (TMI, I know).
