I picked up my packet just before the race. In the packet was my shirt, bib, and pins. The race is flat on concrete paths beside the Trinity River. It is more scenic than the paths in Tulsa. The course is a double loop so we crossed four bridges which provided some up and down. Everything was smooth and though I heard some complain about the course being on concrete you did have the option of running on the gravel path parallel. The best part was the weather. I was prepared for it to be hot but instead we had a covered sky all day. I was able to run comfortably and for long periods.

Packet pick was easy and available on race day if you weren’t able to pick up early. Parking was free and plentiful for the race.
The start was well done, but starting the 5k 30 minutes after the full/half was a bit unnecessary. Many races run them right after the other, but I guess a course adjustment was needed for the 5k and we had to wait until all full/half runners were past the part of the course that needed the adjustment.
Course was easy and through a neighborhood. Some of the neighbors came out to cheer on the runners and that was a nice touch.
Post race food/drink could have been a bit better. Much of the drink was soda and juice. Water was available, but soda seemed to be the most in supply. Food a lot of junk food, but they did have bananas.
This was the first year for the race so it went well given the first go round. Looking forward to future races.
