This is an excellent race, and I have done over 10 marathons. It is along the Trinity Trail in Fort Worth. Excellent aid stations; great support.

This was a wonderful race. The race director was so flexible with the 6:30 walker start. The course was beautiful - the first time for me running on the Trinity Trails. The trails were wonderful - what a beautiful time of year!!

"Nice views with an interesting finisher's medal" (about: 2009)

11-50 previous marathons | 1 Fort Worth Marathon
COURSE: 3  ORGANIZATION: 3  FANS: 1


This is a very small race, but there was a half marathon, 20-miler and full race simultaneously. The 2009 full marathon had about 150 participants.

Pros: Race course was scenic - mostly along the river. The small race staff was very friendly and helpful. The medal is a belt buckle and was very unique.

Cons - There were plastic water cups across most of the course! Not great for runners. The crowd support was very sparse except for four or five pockets of people.

I can't decide if the opening national anthem played on an electric guitar was a pro or a con. It was by far the worst rendition of the national anthem I've heard, with most of the notes off-key, but it was extremely entertaining and set a fun tone for the race.

"Wow. Best marathon I have been in." (about: 2009)

6-10 previous marathons | 1 Fort Worth Marathon
COURSE: 5  ORGANIZATION: 5  FANS: 3


This is my sixth marathon, and this one was by far the best. The scenic route along the river was just excellent. The race was very well organized, with tons of water stops. This one will be on the top on my list every year.
