Chevron Houston Marathon & Aramco Houston Half Marathon
Houston, TX
After coming back from injury only 3 months ago, a PR wasn't in the cards. But the course is super flat, has minimal sharp turns and would be a great …
Six-O Trail Run
Cleburne, TX
DNF but attended as a spectator to support my wife. She rank the half marathon distance and it looked very challenging. Please tell us more about the race! (Your review …
Peticolas Brewing Company Velvet Hammer 5K
Dallas, TX
While it was a bit humid, the course was flat and had potential to be fast (even if I wasn't feeling particularly fast). Lots of food vendors, beer stations all …

Hotcake Hustle 10K & 5K
Plano, TX
Smaller races can be fun. Certainly, everyone in attendance seemed to be enjoying the race despite constant misting drizzle. The race organizers were decent with friendly volunteers at the two …
BMW Dallas Marathon Festival
Dallas, TX
Recommended! Very nice course for the most part. Tons more aid stations than I expected (even some with bananas and gels). The expo was a bit small but that may …
