I ran the half marathon. The music was great along the course. The water stops were in the perfect place. The crowd was awesome. The awards were SUPER nice.
The course was very nice but it was Not Flat!!
Thanks for an amazing race and experience :)

"Best Marathon Around!" (about: 2012)

COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


This was my first marathon ever in 2011 and I couldn't resist running it again in 2012. The organizers do an amazing job of taking care of all the runners. They get so many volunteers at aid stations and even the people who live along the streets we run come out to cheer on the runners. I have run many road races, in BCS and outside, and this is by far my best experience. And the post-race food this year was amazing! I have no complaints about any part of the race, except the crazy hot weather we had in 2012.

I think the best part of this race is that ALL proceeds go to charities. Everyone who organizes the race is a volunteer, there is no company making huge profits off the race.

It is so wonderful to live in a community where something amazing, like this race, can take place. It feels so good to not only be doing good for myself, but to be giving back in a small way to others. This race is top notch, all the way around!

"Potential heat disaster...organizers diverted that" (about: 2012)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Bryan/College Station Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 5


The heat and humidity could have been bad publicity for this small race but the organizers came through like they were directing the New York marathon. I've participated in countless marathons/1/2 marathons and for some reason I was very emotional at this one. Someone commented that the food was depleted by the 1/2 marathoners but we hung around until the end and there were plenty of goodies.

"Scenic, fun run, well organised, excellent communi" (about: 2012)

Only complaint is as an out of towner it was very hard for me to prepare, I like to dirve the route at the very least and this was impossible due to a map that was very hard to read and the final stretch through the campus is on foot paths.

"best half experience thus far" (about: 2012)

This race was absolutely wonderful. Great size with around 4000 people...I think. Route, volunteers, communication, parking, food, medals, shirts, spectators, signs, police officers, water stations, first aid stations, more spectators...everything was really truly awesome. Oh, and I pr'd :)

Nice, flat course through comfortable neighborhoods and Texas A&M campus. The support is very Texas friendly. Scott & White had great medical support and, as with last year, the Corps of Cadets were throughout the course supporting runners. I had a great time and will be back again next year

 

B. H. from Austin, Texas (12/11/2012)
"Excellent race with fantastic support and director" (about: 2012)

A great race with a very passionate cast of coordinators. The course goes through College Station and Bryan and onto beautiful Texas A&M Campus.

Crowd support is excellent especially in only the 2nd year.
