  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: would give a 5 rating if they had more then 2 stinking corrals. There were too many 8:00+ pacers in the A corral that should have been back in the open corral. Stretch goal was to break 3:20, acceptable goal was to beat 3:25 so I'm pretty happy.

  • Comments: Pretty well organized race. I still get a little ticked off about the entry process and race switching. 2/3 of the participants are in the half rather than the full race, but the policy of allowing people to switch between races limits the number of people who can participate in the full. I don't think the Houston Marathon will every hit the big time with NYC, Chicago and other until they seperate the half and the full. Too bad, because the course and the time of year could really make this a world-class destination type of event.

  • Comments: This is a very well organized race and had tons of volunteers. The drink stations were very plentiful and I was able to stay well hydrated. When I finished I had trouble standing up and had to be supported while walking for a few minutes then went to the medical area to get my ankle looked at. All of the folks were very helpful.

  • Comments: Great race, amazing crowds. Couldn't really ask for more. Only a couple of nitpicks: more porta johns (like any race ever has enough), and get a finishers shirt that isn't white (how about some variety?).
