"Great race! VERY well organized and flat." (about: 2012)

This marathon was great - mostly because of the race director and organization of the event itself. Also, the course was flat (some very gently rolling hills, but in general flat). There was 'enough' crowd support to cheer you on. Would do it again.

I can't tell you how well organized this race was. Communication was great, route was perfect, volunteers were very friendly, etc. It couldn't have been any better.

"BCS Marathon-A great venue!" (about: 2012)

COURSE: 4  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


I would like to say that this marathon was very well organized and thought out! I like that the course split at the 4-mile mark. Water stations every mile and a half helped many runners in this years humid conditions. The course was fairly flat, but did have some small hills.
The crowd though sparse, was very encouraging, a testament to the hospitality of Bryan- College Station. Parking was easy, no traffic, and I did not have to worry about getting to the start line. No corrals needed as most people were conscious of their abilities. There was no pushing, shoving, or dodging people at all, even though almost 4000 runners started!
The post race refreshments were the best I have ever had! Austin, take notes! Michelob offered 3 different draft beers, a margarita and pina colada machine offered runners as much as they wanted, and after running a marathon, this is a nice treat! The BBQ sandwich was awesome. Everyone was so enthusiastic and nice. The only drawback were the conditions, start temp was 70 degrees and 100% humidity.
again, my hat is off to the team that offered this marathon! I will definitely be back next year!

I had a great time returning to my college hometown for this race! I absolutely loved running through campus! Also appreciated all the pre-race communication and organization. And the finisher medal with a spinning shoe was so cool! I look forward to coming back next year an running this race again!

"Outstanding in all areas." (about: 2012)

I have run both years. The Half last year and the Full this year. This run is an outstanding event with a super sponsor and race director. Every detail covered, incredibly close and easy parking and a ton of volunteers. Due to heat and humidity this year lots of heat related issues dealt with by an outstanding medical staff.

I've ran the BCS 1/2 marathon the last 2 years and have had a great time doing so. The course is great and the people are great. Chris and his crew do an excellent job of putting together the event.

"Heart-warming, Friendly, Family Oriented, & Fun" (about: 2012)

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 4


This Marathon was so Awesome and Lots of Fun. Race Director in staff kept us all well informed about EVERY little thing in my opinion. Course was fun slightly different from last year do to local construction, made it that more interesting. Just Surprise after Surprise with the cheering Spectators and Volunteers. Just Loved It!!!!
I totally Love how We all Work together to get each other through this from Race Director, volunteers (behind the scenes and front line), and race participants. Cannot tell you how many people said thank you while on the course to volunteers and then encouraged each other throughout the race. Definitely looking forward to Next Year.

I ran my first half marathon last year at the inaugural race and my first full marathon this year in B/CS. I have to say that this is the best organized race I have ever been a part of. The people that organize and volunteer their time in making it what it is are truly AWESOME! This is one race that I will run year in and year out...guaranteed!
