If your running the full marathon, be aware of the huge hill at mile 20, it’s a killer. Once you finish the race, pay attention to all the signage directing you to various tents and booths to get your post race swag, it’s very easy to miss something as you go by and you cannot go back in to finishers zone

Be prepared to walk a lot if you drive your car and use hotel parking, very little parking to be had and what there is $$ overall a great destination race lots of bands, beads and cheering folks, if you run both days you’ll get more swag, but 10 k is on Sunday so you will have to run the 5k on Saturday

The mayor has ran the half 29 times and most of the city council runs it, great swag, finishers medals are a 3 year series so you’ll want to run next year to get the final piece of the series and the plate to mount it on.

Arrive early parking can be difficult and plan on a long walk, train for hills there are 3 hills on the course.
I ran the cowtown challenge and the swag I received was well worth the money, also at expo for the first time they had a expo presale for next year in honor of its 40 year anniversary, they didn’t announce but after finding out was well worth the wait to sign up for next years races

Full marathon the water stations toward end of race tend to be understaffed. And there can be a wait for water, also since race splits around mile 7 it is important to see the half marathon turn around sign

Don’t need music or radio for this one, 20 bands on course and they are loud, crossing mopac hwy twice not fun, but course was basically flat, easy to maintain a pace without pacers, was a bit of a walk from parking lot to race start

Sign up for this race! For your entry fee you get more bling than any race I’ve been in and the free stuff the vendors gave out before and after the race is crazy good, also make sure you get on some hill training before this race because the last two thirds of this course are quite hilly
