  • Comments: Great race! Only downside is getting 25.000 runners to the start line on time. The freeway was at a standstill at 6:20 am. The race started 10 minutes late, apparently due to getting racers to the starting line. Since this was the first year of the event I think it is an understandable problem. Hopefully next year they'll do better.

  • Comments: Expo was too crowded--they had more space to open it up some. Pre-race on site, no worries, lots of porta potties. They did pick up the gear bags by last name, yet everything else we had was by #'s, #'s were even by corral. Why not bag pick up? Would've been MUCH better organized as such. Post-race: didn't stay for the big concert, but the area was SO packed, and the UPS gear bags were so utterly disorganized, not to mention the shuttle pick up area had no organized line of getting to it. This was very disappointing and frustrating due to the fact that this RD does this in mutliple locations across the US. Even though it's an inagural for San Antonio, I'd definitely give it several more years to mature before doing it again. Race course was great, no concerns at all...fast and the weather was great, but the immediate post-race organization made me insane.

  • Comments: Overall, very well executed. Great scene but the course was relatively uneventful except passing the alamo at mile 2.2. Would have rather run Austin with the hills.

  • Comments: The expo wasn't planned very well. It could have been better organized so that it wasn't soooo jammed up with people. Too long to wait for the start too. We didn't make it to the after-race concert.
