Katy Nustad's Staging Area

Selected the Dallas BMW Marathon as my first marathon because I wanted the classy swag – little did I know that the entire race experience would be classy as well!! Loved the entire experience!! Very well organized race!! The Expo was great, the actual pre-race corrals did not feel chaotic despite multiple thousand half, full, and ultra participants. I loved the course – running through Dallas neighborhoods and landmarks decorated for Christmas was a dream! Water stops were very well staffed. Volunteers were fantastic!!! Some describe this course as rolling hills – but it still felt fairly flat to me. With 3,000 other full marathoners, I was never alone on the course.
Perhaps the reason I want to shout this race’s praises from the rooftops:::: I was a little out of it after I finished and grabbed a Men’s Marathon Finisher shirt. I didn’t realize it until I was home! I contacted runDallas, knowing it was a long shot – and they responded that they would mail me a Women’s Marathon Finisher Shirt!!!!!! And they did!!! I received it 3 days after they mailed it!!!! This made my Christmas 2022 – was really all I wanted for Christmas LOL!!!! I signed up for the Dallas BMW Marathon because I wanted the sweet swag as I mentioned above, but that desire was only increased after finishing the race because it will remind me of the experience. As I type this review, I am 9 days post-marathon and still on such a high. Have worn the beautiful medallion for several days now :). Thank you runDallas for the wonderful experience!!!!! I am so glad I chose this as my first marathon!!!! Highly, highly recommend!!!!
