"AMAZING!" (about: 2013)
4-5 previous marathons
| 3 Bryan/College Station Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This race is incredible. I have run it for 3 years straight and will continue to do so. The race director and his team go far above and beyond to care for the runners and think through every single detail. If there were ever a perfect race, this would be it. | |

"Awesome race!" (about: 2013)
4-5 previous marathons
| 2 Bryan/College Station Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my second year to run the BCS half marathon. It was very cold, but still the best race I have ever ran! All of the volunteers were super nice and encouraging, and very dedicated for being in the cold. It is always a joy to run through Aggieland especially coming from a former Ag. My favorite part this year were the gummy bears and brownies along the course instead of my only option being Gu. I mean seriously, who made those brownies?!? They were the best brownies EVER!! | |

"An incredible, incredible race." (about: 2013)
2 previous marathons
| 2 Bryan/College Station Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 Everything about this race was flawless. The spectators were fun, the organization and structure were great, and the courses itself was solid (except for one bridge that had a bit of ice, but everything else was sanded down). I enjoyed the hell out of this race. | |

"Incredible experience" (about: 2012)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This race was the first half I have ever run, and boy was it the proper choice! The race director did a great job of keeping everyone informed through Facebook and was so great about answering any questions/concerns that people had. I had no anxiety at all before hand due to this superb organization. The only thing I could maybe see knocking, and I can't, is that I thought there would be fruit/GU/something similar for half marathoners as well. I didn't see anything on the course, could just be my mistake and missed it. But I can't complain about that. The only lingering question is not if I will return for 2013, but whether or not I will run the half or the full next year! Great job by everyone who organized this. | |

"Best marathon I've run." (about: 2012)
2 previous marathons
| 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 The race organizers did a fantastic job at organizing the run: Great communication and really well organized - better than some bigger, more expensive marathons. They put a lot of effort into having hilarious signs along the route (when you can laugh at a sign at miles 19+, it's got to be funny) and creative mile markers. Also, did great at having enthusiastic water stations and aid stations. Excellent feast at the end too! My only critique is the course through the A&M campus. It was NOT marked well around Military Walk and the MSC and there weren't enough volunteers directing. I saw several runners get lost around this area. That said, I would absolutely run it again! BIG thanks to the organizers for putting it together and making it top notch! | |

"Fantastic race - read all the other comments" (about: 2012)
11-50 previous marathons
| 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 Excellent, low key race, very well organized. I have run a dozen marathons before and there is not one organized better. My only suggestion for improvement is to run the race on the left side of the road (facing traffic) instead of the right. Like all road runners who practice safety in training, I log all my miles facing traffic. Running an entire marathon on the opposite slope of the roadway crown causes a lot of addtional stress on the body. All in all, I think everyone has covered the positive aspects of the race very well, and there were no negatives. | |

"Great race that improves each year." (about: 2012)
2 previous marathons
| 2 Bryan/College Station Marathons
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This is a great race. It is on the smaller side which is good for people that don't like running in crowds. The course is fairly flat. The swag is good and the food at the finish is outstanding. The only knock I had on the race this compared to the first year is that there seemed to be less spectators. I think the spectators that were along the course were generally better than last year, but there were definitely less. This isn't really an issue for me. There also seemed to be less people at the finish line, but weather may have played a part in that as people that finished the half may not have wanted to stay around to watch the marathon finishers. | |

"My First Marathon" (about: 2012)
1 previous marathon
| 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I would have to say I am very impressed by this marathon; however I also have nothing to compare to other than the Buffalo Stampede (half marathon) also in the BCS area. Now with these two I would have to say that the BCS Marathon blew the Buffalo Stampede out of the water. Leading up to the race was phenomenal Chris Field, the race director, was very incouring to everyone. Plus the Scott and White medical staff put on several wonderful and very informative seminars leading up to the race which taught this newbie runner many things, many of which were the opposite of what the military has taught me. The race itself was great from the cheering from the volunteers, to the medical staff spread out the course, and even the locals coming out to cheer. It was very great for a newbie to complete my first race. I couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks to Chris and all the BCS marathon team. |
