  • Comments: Love the Cowtown....they put on a great race. This was my 5th year to do it (4 halfs and 1 full this yr), and I truly think that the race organizers have done a better job each and every year.

  • Comments: I don't really have any other marathons to compare this to. I thought everything went very smoothly, including packet pickup. I like that this was not a huge race. Spectators were very supportive and entertainment along the course was pretty cool! I never could find the recovery drinks at the end, like Core Power, Muscle Milk, etc. Someone said there was chocolate milk, but I missed it. Finisher shirt is beautiful, red and long-sleeved.

  • Comments: The only thing that I don't like about this race is the shuttle system. I wold like to see them change the course again so that it could start and end near the hotels. My first two years here it was so nice to roll out of bed and walk to the start. Still, I am very glad to have completed the 5 race series. What next ?

  • Comments: Saturdays race was right on time, 7:00 am. Sundays race was about 4 minutes late but I think they had technical trouble. the announcer started the race over the speakers with a, "Ready, Set, GO!" This is a hilly and winding course. I went ahead and gave it a "just right" but the course if difficult imho. And this was my first Fully Mary!
