  • Comments: The only bad thing about this race is the crowd. I clocked an extra 1/4 mile running around people. I had to go around folks and ended up in car traffic because there wasn't enough room to run. This was the theme from beginning to end.

  • Comments: Last year, the post race activities were held in the expo building. This year, it was outside. After the run, it was difficult standing outside in the cold wind trying to drink the hot chocolate and dip your goodies in the melted chocolate was challenging.

  • Comments: Good race. Hots off to the volunteers who froze! Good to see a shorter race with the "big-race marathon foremat".

  • Comments: I think RAM racing did a great job with this first Hot Chocolate race in Dallas. Granted it was expensive, the course was well marked, they had a lot of volunteers, a water station every 2 miles or so, and great post-race food. The crowds were pretty thin though so you didn't get as much of an adrenaline boost like the White Rock or Rock'n'Roll half-marathon that I ran early last year. I would definitely do this race again!

  • Comments: I am surprised that any volunteers showed up given how cold it was, I would have bailed. A couple of the aid stations could have used more volunteers, but it was fine. Seemed well run and organized. I didn't like the trek down to Fair Park the day before for packet pick-up and the expo was a little lame.
