This was my first half marathon. It was very well organized and made first timers feel extremely welcome and encouraged. The organizer and the cause are both awesome. Definitely recommended!

"Good race but could use improvements" (about: 2012)

1 previous marathon | 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 4  FANS: 2


The race was organized well and I loved that the parking was free, easy, and so close to the start.
For such a small race I was disappointed that I was forced to pick up my packet the day before but I was able to get a cheap hotel nearby.
The course was nice with frequent aid stations but few spectators (as I expected). The course going through campus had virtually no volunteers and had you up on sidewalks and taking many odd turns that I did not like. The last few miles of the course combined the half and full runners which made it very annoying to be weaving through walkers while I was finishing the marathon.
Having finished towards the front I also had to wait 2 and a half hours to get my award.

"Excellent race organization and support" (about: 2012)

This was my 5th marathon (Dallas, Chicago, NYC, OKC) and by far the most organized race with abundant communication to convey info and get you excited for the race. Chris does an incredible job in communication. This is a great race for a first time racer with his communications on facebook and email. He had Q&A videos posted on facebook and sent emails with info. I loved running through campus and was glad it was at the latter part of the race to distract me! The race hotel (Hilton) was great and this is the only race that had a breakfast bag delivered outside my hotel door on race day! This race gives attention to ALL of the details to make the race an enjoyable one! Thanks, Chris, you are awesome and I will be back! Whoop!

The course is so much fun to run, and you get to run with other great runners! The only improvement would be more spectators, but it's a new race so I'm sure that'll improve! I'm definitely running next year.
