The Dallas marathon is an absolute must. There’s no other way to put it. From the expo to the fans cheering you on, the overall experience is an A+! This was my first marathon and I couldn’t think of a better one to participate in. It definitely set the bar high for race experiences. The only downfall is I think I’m a race snob since that day. But maybe that’s not a bad thing? There was plenty of water and aid along the entire course which i loved. I felt super safe the whole time and was never alone. Fans literally lined the course from start to finish. Kids were handing out cookies and water in front of their houses. It was amazing. There were also people handing out shots of beer at one point in the race but that wasn’t my thing. The swag was awesome. We got a general race shirt, sweet medal, and a cool finishers medal. To top it off, we also got a race-specific finishers shirt which I LOVE!
