Lone Star Paper Chase Marathon

Excellent race. I'd like to beat my last time of 2:56:56.

I would give the course 10 stars, but I can't. Everything else is perfect, too. This is the finest marathon I've seen and I can't wait to participate in it. It leaves a lot your satisfaction and I am glad to not only not be a volunteer, for once, but to finally get my feet wet. See you there.

The around-town course was interesting, but running on severely crowned city streets for about half the course was like running on the side of a hill. Very small field, so put yourself in long training run mode and virtually no spectators except Amarillo police, who were very professional and helpful. The best part of the race was how nice and friendly all the volunteers were and how well all the water stations were equipped. Overall a pretty good and enjoyable experience, especially for a small marathon.
