While I do not recommend running a marathon in the Irving series, the Frost half is OK. I have run a few half marathons in Irving and the Frost, while far from perfect, is their better event. It’s an OK half to run during a marathon training schedule because of where it falls on the calendar and it’s not a hard course. Although, I’m now running other half marathons in DFW I anticipate will be better organized and worth the money.
Positives
– OK swag
– Friendly pacers
– Good pre and post race energy
Negatives
– Boring route
– poorly organized
– lacks shade (but not an issue in December)
