I love the events put on by Cox Running Club. Packet pick up was at the location so you got an idea of travel time in advance and it was well organized. Race day is always crowded, but they had it marked well and got the half marathon off on time, the 10k just a bit late and then the 5k. They had plenty of water, bananas and granola bars before the race, along with a Santa that I got pictures with. There was race day packet pick up & registration, and it was organized and not blocking any of the runners already lined up. The route is along the Trinity River and goes over a couple of pretty bridges and has lots of nice scenery. The course has just enough up and down to keep the muscles loose, but the volunteers are the best! The 5k had a water station at the half way mark and a great group that were encouraging, funny and on top of the water! There were lots of runners who finished and hung around to support those coming in behind them. The cheering at the finish line is one of my favorite things about this race! When done, there was still plenty of water, juice pouches, bananas, granola bars and bags of chips to go around!

This race comes with a long sleeve tech shirt and participation medal, and both were high quality! They had plenty of port-a-potties available, as well.

There is plenty of parking, and they send out information about parking in advance of the race, but the location is off a small 2 lane road, and between locals and runners parking on the street instead of in the lot, the street gets congested.
