I may be biased as a Fort Worth native, but the Cowtown is THE BEST race in the country. I’ve run the half twice and did the full this year, and I plan to run some distance there every year until I physically cannot. Here’s why:
1) The volunteers and organization are unbeatable. Cowtown runs like a well-oiled machine, and a fun one at that! I’m a back-of-the-pack runner, and I STILL felt supported and loved during the final miles of the full or the half.
2) The full course gives you the excitement and entertainment of a big race AND the intimacy and charm of a small race. The half course is a 13 mile party, and once the full splits from the half, things became more serene. Also, the second half of the course goes through beautiful neighborhoods with few hills.
3) The CROWD SUPPORT in the second half was amazing! Miles 14, 15, and 20, I’m looking at you! Neighborhoods set up their own aid stations and cheer runners on. It really felt like everyone was out there to support the runners, which made a huge difference in my race.
4) The finish line/post-race festivities are full of Texan hospitality. Ice cream, beer, chicken noodle soup, fruit, bananas, water, Topo Chico, all handed off with big smiles and congratulations. Every single volunteer from the medical personnel just at the finish line to the people who gave out medal to the volunteers who served food congratulated me, and that meant the world to me.
5) The swag is GREAT! I love the 3 year medal series, and I always actually wear the shirts post-race.
6) Packet pickup is swift and well-organized. I have never waited to get my bib or shirts.
7) Cowtown is truly the friendliest race I’ve ever run. Something about the entertainment, the organization, and the race itself makes runners chattier and so kind. I’ve never hugged at stranger in a corral except at Cowtown. It’s THAT kind of vibe!
I will come back in 2020 and 2021 and 2022…seriously until I can’t even crawl the 5K!!!!! IT IS THAT GOOD.

First off, the race organizers are not joking about parking. Get to Zuma Beach EARLY! We got there around 5:30, which ended up being perfect.
This course is beautiful, but it is NOT a fast and flat guaranteed PR. There are some big hills IMO, but the views are truly stunning. You won’t find a more beautiful route. That being said, I saw a lot of people struggling because of the hills and the heat. The abundant water stations were so helpful!
Starting corals were a bit crowded, but the energy was electric! My fellow runners were friendly and fun. We supported each other out there!
I earned every bit of my PR on this course! It was challenging, but the great organization, beautiful course, and fun atmosphere made this race spectacular. An awesome race!

The Cowtown was well organized, friendly, and beautiful. Tons of runners from all abilities participate, so even as a slowpoke, I still felt comfortable. The swag is truly second to none. As a Challenge participant, I got three shirts and medals. The only tiny complaint I have is that I wished the gels had been pre-cut so they were easier to open. Genuinely, that is the biggest gripe I have. I recommend this beautiful and smooth race to everyone!
