No cancel/deferral after Nov 9 is unfair (about: 2012)
Course: 1 Organization: 1 Fans: 1

1 previous marathon

I was very ill during the week last week and through this weekend. I emailed the race organizer on Friday requesting a cancellation or deferral once I determined I could not possibly run the race. The organizer refused to defer my registration or offer a refund because of race policy and signed off with a curt, 'sorry'. This is terrible way to do business. I was really looking forward to this race and was disappointed that I would be unable to run it. But receiving no compassion from the race organizers made me angry. It could not be that difficult to make this situation right, even 2 days prior to the race. I will not register for this race again and will advise my friends not to do so as well. A total waste of my money.

The race organizer provided lots of communication via email & Facebook. I don't think I had any pre-race questions left. The race course is fun for anybody familiar with College Station, Bryan, and/or Texas A&M.

First Marathon

This was my first half marathon, and I don't think I could have picked a better one. We were kept informed and updated during the months/weeks/days leading up to the race, and the race director was extremely great about answering everyone's questions. He was very active on Facebook as well, which really pumped me up for the race. There were plenty of of porta-potties at the starting line, amazing crowd support throughout the course, and plenty of water/gatorade stops. I loved how well the race was branded, and that everything was cohesive- finisher's medal, t-shirts, signs, website, etc. are all beautifully designed.


This was an experience I won't forget! Well done! (about: 2012)

I had an absolute blast running this race. I have been impressed with this race not just from the starting line, but from the minute I registered. For months, the humble, enthusiastic Facebook posts and emails have been a nonstop source of motivation. I enjoyed hearing how this race was developing while I worked on developing my own training for it! I cannot compliment the coordinators of this race enough! Yes, they were INCREDIBLY organized and dedicated, but what got me was how PASSIONATE they were! And that definitely came through in the race itself. I loved how the race truly focused on bringing out the best in BCS through the course and by highlighting BCS's signature cuisines in the post race buffet (which was phenomenal)! The little touches like Santa being on the trail and the hand painted mile markers really kept me going out there! I could go on forever, but to sum it all up- WELL DONE! And I will definitely be making this race a new finals tradition!

This race was a lot of fun and as a former student of A&M very heartwarming to be back on campus. It was very well organized VERY safe with plenty of police support, well marked course, water, Gatorade, wet towels, medics... I could go on and on. This was my second half marathon, although i have ran in many 5k and 10k races so comparing it to the others, I felt very informed and comfortable come race day. The only reason I rated the course a 4 was because this race is considered flat but I highly disagree with that. I did not hill train and wish I would have. This posed extremely challenging for me. There were ones where the course was very narrow, specifically on welborn and through north gate. Also, there were very few spectators and cheering Going on. I was dissapointed in this. I will be doing this race again, for sure!!


Great communication, organization, & support! (about: 2012)
