Fantastic First-Time Marathon Choice (about: 2008)
Course: 5 Organization: 5 Fans: 5
E. S. from Baltimore, MD (1/4/08)
1 previous marathon | 1 Texas Marathon

This was my first marathon and my first time in Texas. The course is flat and beautiful and the people are incredibly supportive. The low humidity and mild temperature help a lot as well. The hotel recommended on the website was also accommodating in allowing marathoners a late check-out so that we could shower after the race.


Better than what I expected! (about: 2008)

This was my first marathon and I couldn't have picked a better one to do. The volunteers were wonderful and all the runners were supportive of each other. I loved that your name was handwritten on your bib and the signs they posted for everyone was a great touch. Thanks for making my first marathon such a great experience.


Best-organized little marathon we have run so far (about: 2008)

Just want to thank organizers and volunteers for the outstanding preparation and support during the race (especially the "motivation sheets" for every runner). So overall - it was definitely worthwhile to come all the way from cold Canada.

The course was also very nice and running the loops was much more fun than we expected.


Perfect (about: 2008)

R. B. from Arizona (1/2/08)

This was so much fun. It was my first marathon and thought everything was organized very well. The weather was perfect. There was plenty of food. The course was beautiful. The runners were great at supporting one another. It would have been nice to have a few more spectators, but the ones who were there were fantastic, calling us by name. What a fun run!


What a way to bring in the New Year!!! (about: 2008)

AMAZING 0 this marathon was very well run and the atmosphere was fantastic. The fan support was unbelievable. PowerAde, water and food every 1.5 miles, and the people running were a hoot! Beautiful scenery and the personalized signs of every runner's name was just an inspiration. Thank you, Steve and Paula.


Great way to start of the New Year (about: 2008)
Course: 4 Organization: 5 Fans: 5
J. G. from Texas (1/1/08)

This is a great, "small town" marathon. The 4 out-and-back loops were a bit tough mentally but the scenery is beautiful. The support is wonderful and the runners are all very supportive of each other. Your name is HANDwritten on your bib so everyone can cheer for you. The stuffed monkey with your place was fun. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to PR.


This was fantastic; I totally recommend it (about: 2008)

Neil Jay Warner from Pharr, TX (1/1/08)

Cool way to ring in the new year; incredibly beautiful course. So much for your money - all KINDS of pizza, PB&J, cookies, hat, shirt, monkey, mug. LOTS of diversity among the small field, very kind available organizers. Extremely cool. Even the course being a loop was not so bad. The names on the bibs was nice, as well as names on the trees. Very good.


Great race for focusing on the run - not other rac (about: 2007)
Course: 4 Organization: 5 Fans: 4
G. B. from Spring Branch Texas (1/12/07)
4-5 previous marathons | 1 Texas Marathon

I thought it was a great event. The field limit kept it to just the right number of people for the course. I have already recommended it to friends.


FIRST-CLASS MARATHON! (about: 2007)
Course: 5 Organization: 5 Fans: 5
D. I. from Gainesville, Florida (1/3/07)
11-50 previous marathons

The Texas Marathon was simply fantastic. Steve and Paula Boone did an incredible job at organizing this marathon. The course was well marked and clean. There were no traffic concerns since it was run entirely on greenbelts. The volunteers stayed throughout the entire marathon and were helpful and friendly. Food was plentiful... even at the end! Personal messages of encouragement were placed on the course for each and every runner. Steve ran the marathon and was friendly and encouraging on the course. I can't say enough good things about this marathon. Don't miss it!!!!!
