The SWAG is awesome, the medals are always Western themed. The Staff and volunteers do an excellent job. You pretty much run a tour of the City of “Cowtown “. The folks line up the streets cheering you on, there are some encouraging and hilarious signs for the runners. Who needs headphones when there are numerous bands and DJ’s jamming or spinning the tunes along the way. You run through the Historic Stockyards on cobblestone brick where cattle once roamed through. There is the Main Street bridge with a long steady incline that leads you directly into town to the old Courthouse. There is so much more to applaud the Cowtown Marathon, this is just a smidgen. You’ll be proud to say that you ran “Cowtown”.

I absolutely loved the virtual option that allowed our dog to run with me and my daughter. Far less traffic, we loved it! I have run the 5k, 10K, and half-marathon. I also enjoy running at the actual race, it’s an all-around great event.

Super well organized event! Lots of spectators and entertainment on the course! You’ll get so distracted by the race that you might not realize that you’re running up another hill. This year the organizers had several info sessions on Facebook, which really helped me understand what to expect with the Covid restrictions. Overall, it’s a fun race, and the metal is pretty sweet, too!

Cowtown was so much fun this year. After a yr of no races due to Covid, I was glad to see we canbget back out there. Course changed, more hills, new trails, didn’t see that coming! Everyone was in good spirits, race was put together better than expected.

Hill Repeat training is highly recommended for all runners! Running through the Stockyards was an amazing experience, but the cobblestones were hard on the feet.

I started running during COVID. The Cowton 5K was the 2nd “in-person” race I ever ran. WHAT A RACE! The “vibe” was incredible, the people (volunteers and runners) handled the COVID restrictions with grace. Cannot wait to run in 2022!

Hard to compare to what we have experienced in the past. Personally think Cowtown went a little overboard on protocol for Covid. I do understand you can’t please everyone but when we gather outdoors and know what has been going on for the past 14 months, then we are aware of the consequences.

I think the concept of a continual start line is fantastic and should be kept when covid is not even a concern. Allows the runners to actually start pace at start instead of a mile or more in. Organization was not great, nobody seemed to know where to direct me to get my bib, but once I found it things were overall smooth sailing. The weather was beautiful, challenging course with some hills, and great views throughout. Glad I signed up and had a reason to visit Texas.

The Cowtown did their absolute best to run a large race during Covid. The course had some rolling hills (though i hear previous years were worse). Going through the Stockyards was great (though cobblestones do worry me), and the park towards the end was really sweet. The music and bands were good. And the bling was the best. My time sucked…but, Covid. Yeah, I’ll blame Covid.
Now, the downside. Due to covid, there were no shuttles or non car transportation to and from the event or packet pickup. I knew that going in, but the reality of walking about 4 extra miles each day in the heat wasn’t much fun. There was no GU in my box, and I ended up salvaging that and a warmup jacket from the side of the road about mile one into the event.
All in all, hillier-ish than I expected, but fun. Cooler would have been better.

Love the swag (medals and 2 shirts)! The new route was hillier than the usual route. The 6:30 start time was much earlier than usual which likely impacted the normally very heavy and enthusiastic crowd support. Although there was no post-race party due to Covid this year, they distributed bags full of yummy treats. I’m looking forward to next year’s race; wouldn’t miss it for anything.
