This run was the first time I ran a Charlie Brown Christmas Run. I’ve seen them around, but previously had chosen other December races to run.
The best part of the race is the swag. The shirt is a really nice performance T-shirt or other options. The finisher medal is great, one of the better ones I have earned over the years.
Packet pickup and logistics were no problem and handled well by the team that put on the race. The race was held at a locale that is used by several races in the Dallas area, so I am familiar with parking and other logistics.
I was relatively unimpressed with the course. It’s a popular trail down by the Trinity River. But there isn’t much scenery running in-between the dikes. Personally, I like the course used for the Skyline that starts at the same locale.
Overall, I am glad I ran the race. It was a local one that I hadn’t ran yet. I don’t know that I would run it again as there are better options, but if you haven’t ran it, do it once for the swag.

Last minute change of course meant 3 laps back and forth on Ron Kirk Bridge. The bridge was too narrow for 1500 runners, so it was bumper to bumper all the way! Also, 5k and 10k started and finished at the same place, so at least one was not the correct distance. Really nice t-shirt. Hand painted finisher medal.
