  • Comments: This is without a doubt the most well-organized and executed race that I have run. From the expo, start/finish area, parking, course, volunteers,...and the Houston fans--absolutely outstanding! If you want to see what a well-executed big event looks like, you owe it to yourself to run Houston. The race goodies are nice too (race t-shirt, finisher tech shirt, finisher medal, finisher beer mug, post race hot food, etc.).

  • Comments: Really good race organization and layout to handle such a large number of people. A very good idea to put portacans right in the start corrals. Lots of crowds on the course, great volunteers, and sponsors. Shop @ HEB! It's pretty neat to be a part of a big-city event like this. If I ever do it again, I'm going to slow down even more and really enjoy it. Why does every race have to be so hard?
