"awesome race" (about: 2012)

First Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This was my first half marathon and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I love that the first-timers got special colored bibs- the extra encouragement from the spectators was fantastic

"Great smaller field Marathon" (about: 2012)

4-5 previous marathons | 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 2


This race is organized exceptionally well. The ability of the director and his crew to make you feel as if they are focused entirely on you having a great race was impressive. Their level of communication on all details, large and small, even when it was the umpteenth time answering the same question, showed their commitment to each individual racer. The course is fairly easy, with a couple of decent rollers in the middle to give you 2nd thoughts. Weather is key as always. this is Texas racing. 70's and humid on race day this year. 40's the day after.

"Excellent race, second to none!" (about: 2012)

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


I've run many races, including the Houston Marathon several times, and though this race may be smaller (only because it is just getting started!) it's organization, support, fans and course are just as enjoyable! I have run both years so far and plan to do so for as long as it continues...which I hope has no end in sight! Thank you Chris and your team for the time, effort, late nights, long weekends, and everything else you do to put this race on. Organizing a race is no easy task and you do a phenomenal job!!! God bless you and the ministries you support!

I signed up for this rate because I had heard so many wonderful things about the folks that put it on. I was impressed by the many extra miles that the organizers went to to make me feel wanted, comfortable, taken care of, and safe. Very professional. Everything went smoothly. Thank you.

"Year 2 was even better than year 1" (about: 2012)

What a great race. Race director does a fantastic job in the months/weeks pre-race keeping racers informed and answering questions. First-time half or full friendly race!!!! Race Expo and Race day organization fantastic! Course itself is a great mix of neighborhoods, main roads and Texas A&M campus. Great and friendly crowds cheering for any/all runners. My favorite race each year and it keeps getting better.

1 previous marathon | 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


Despite the heat I was able to beat my time goal. The volunteers and spectators made the course safe and enjoyable. There where regular water/Gatorade stops and cold towels available due to the heat. Thank you to the committee for planning such a wonderful race.
