Trying to put on races in the time of Covid-19 is quite the challenge and I am so happy this company was able to make this race happen. I flew in from the DC area to check off the state of Texas on my 50 states journey!
The organization could’ve been better (the advertised a 6am race day packet pickup but weren’t even setup until almost 6:30am; they also claimed it would be chipped time which it wasn’t and they didn’t record my time initially so I had to use my own Apple Watch time to submit for awards which felt weird.)
Course was relatively flat outside of a couple rolling hill section. It was quite beautiful to run next to the lake as the sun continued to rise. Half Marathon was two laps of a down & back which did cause for some congestion with the 5K/10K participants which isn’t ideal in these times but nothing a good run gaither can’t handle!
Tech shirt was a good swag piece & long sleeve (ended up running with it underneath, it was a frigid first half of the race) and the medal was nice as well. I love the vast array of age group/overall awards (I won my age group!) and that plaque was nice as well.
If I lived in the Ft. Worth/Dallas area, I would run this and other races put on by this group again but can’t see myself traveling in again for it. It was a really solid race to run given all the restrictions the pandemic has placed on run events.

I ran this race for two reasons: to qualify for a better corral in lrm and for a weekend getaway. I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable this race was. It was very small in terms of participants and swag but it made up for it with the ease of the course and the beautiful view of Fort Worth.
