The parking is plentiful, however, plan ahead and arrive early. I did not use Parking Panda, and I had no problem parking at around 6am. There was fruit and water available pre-race, and the race was well-organized.

The course had several hills as well as a corkscrew onto the overpass. There were many cool things to be seen along the course (Kennedy, trees, views from the overpass). The volunteers and officers along the path were so friendly and helpful and encouraging. This was my first 1/2 marathon, and I drove 1500 miles to be there from Phoenix; it was worth it.

The post-race celebration was fun, but the line to get the Remix and Lone Star medals was lengthy and unorganized, however once you found the end, it moved quickly. I will be back next year!
