c. s. from Georgia (3/17/2008) "nice, easy, trail run" (about: 2008) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 4 This was an easy, flat, trail run. Water stops were always well stocked and even the Girl Scout cookies were plentiful. By Sunday's 4th loop, I was bored; though I did the half on Saturday, and I guess that's why. Chip pick up was different in that they didn't give them out at packet pick-up. Instead, you get them race morning. Special treats in the goody bag were nice. Post-race food and party were top notch, typical of most good small marathons. Early start for the marathon on Sunday was appreciated.
N. B. from Houston, Texas (3/17/2008) "Impeccable" (about: 2008) 4-5 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This is simply a GREAT small marathon. Being a trail run in a warmer weather ( 73°F) you probably won't be running a PR. But the settings are BEAUTIFUL, the course is easy on the body and the aid stations are well stocked. Lots of nice goodies and a HUGE finisher's medal. I will definitely be coming back!
C. D. from Houston, TX (8/17/2007) "Good small marathon" (about: 2007) 2 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I had just run my first Austin Half Marathon a month ago and I decided I was going to run the Seabrook Half Marathon. Seabrook trails was the place I usually train anyways and therefore, I thought I know the course, so I could definitely do it here. After all, I knew the course really, really well. The Bay Area Running Club members and On The Run store did a fabulous job. The race has such a personal touch that you are bound to leave impressed. The food at the end of the race was great. There are some things you will see on this race you might not see anything else, signs on the trail like "Snake and Alligator Habitat" and also "Unstable Sand." The technical shirt, cap and socks are definitely a seller for this race that almost gives your money back. The free massages before and after the race were fantastic. I would highly recommend this race.
J. L. from CIBOLO TX (4/18/2007) "SLOW RUNNER/WALKER-FRIENDLY MARATHON" (about: 2007) 4-5 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 I really enjoyed this marathon, after running Honolulu and San Antonio. Slow runners/walkers were allowed to start two hours early with a trail guide. We were also provided with a clip-on light so you could see where you were going. The four-lap loop trail was something new. With a 6- to 7-hour marathon time, I'm used to only seeing the back of other runners as they pass me. The loop trail allows you to see the other runners coming and going along some areas. Lots of water and Gatorade. The grilled chicken sandwich at the finish line sure hit the spot. I'll be back next year.
C. P. from Louisiana (4/8/2007) "Great weekend! Well organized small-scale race." (about: 2007) 2 previous marathons COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I loved this! After doing a few huge races, I wanted something on a smaller scale so as not to fight through a crowded field of runners. This race is small but extremely well organized. I received several emails updating me with race information, all personable and friendly; this helped me to stay motivated and excited about my training. Having done marathons and half marathons, the back-to-back Sat./Sun. half marathon was a great new challenge. I hadn't done a trail run before and this was a good one to start with. Trails were wide enough to pass on, flat, smooth, and well marked with signs and live bodies (no way to miss a turn); the goodies were terrific (dry-weave shirt, dry-weave hat, technical socks); tons of water/Gatorade stops; post-race food was terrific - loved the hot grilled food. I'll be doing this one again.
D. V. from Houston, Texas (3/26/2007) "A great local race." (about: 2007) 3 previous marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 I ran the 1/2 marathon on Saturday and had a blast. Running on the trail vs. the road was very comfortable and the course had drained pretty well after the rains from earlier in the week. A gentle breeze from the bay helped keep the conditions perfect. There are quite a few turns on the trail through the woods, which kept you on your toes, but the volunteers helped direct everyone on the right path. I hope they keep this new "tradition" of the additional 1/2 marathon on Saturday along with the full and 1/2 on Sunday.
C. E. from Seabrook, Texas - USA (3/26/2007) "Two-Day Challenge Was a Great New Twist" (about: 2007) 6-10 previous marathons \| 2 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathons COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 The course is light on the body and spirit. The dirt trails have lots of tree cover, there are little wooden bridges and seeing the sun rise over the water is uplifting. I entered their new event - "Two-Day Challenge" (Saturday & Sunday), which involves back-to-back 1/2 marathons. The event was well organized and the grilled food at the after party was great. I will definitely run it again.
E. A. from Houston, Texas (3/26/2007) "A Really Great "Small-Town" Race" (about: 2007) 4-5 previous marathons \| 2 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathons COURSE: 3 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 The organizers have made a tremendous effort to improve on everything this year. Different color number bibs for the half marathan runners, and enough food for all runners and their families. Speaking of food, you will never get this kind of spread and "small-town hospitality" at a big-time race. A really great scenic trail run on the Gulf Coast. My personal opinion, however, is it's better to run the half (two loops). A marathon consisting of 4 identical 6.5-mile loops is not for me.
S. W. from Houston, Texas (3/25/2007) "Well-organized event with scenic route." (about: 2007) 11-50 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 4 FANS: 2 I was attracted to this event by the challenge of running a half-marathon on Saturday followed by a marathon the next day. I was concerned that running a total of 6 loops on the same course would prove to be hard work. However, the changing vistas and beautiful scenery kept tedium at bay and the well-maintained trails were easy on the legs. The event was well-organized and the volunteers were friendly and helpful.
S. D. from Houston,TX (3/24/2007) "Great marathon/half marathon!" (about: 2007) 3 previous marathons \| 1 Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 The course is scenic and a nice change from road races. The water stations were well stocked and organized. The post-race food was great and abundant!Runners were treated wonderfully, from the registration packets to the post-race party!
