This is a small race in Waco, Texas, it was cold and rainy and part of the course was flooded a couple of days prior so some last minute rerouting was done and according my devices it rain longer by .37. Considering the weather it was a good race.

Pre-Race: There was not a big expo just a simple in and out type of packet pickup. The packet included the basics. Bib, long sleeve tech shirt, flyers, coupon, pencil and bracelet. This race didn't use a disposable timing chip and that had to be picked up the morning of the race.

Race Day: It was cold and rainy, but parking was ample and close. Again, not a lot of vendors out but plenty of first responder vehicles from neighboring towns giving plenty of pre-race picture opportunities.

Course: It was a looped course that actually had you loop through the finish line. It was flat, but the roads weren't in the best conditions at some parts. As far as scenery it was nice when running through Riverwalk park, other times you just on a sidewalk. You do get to run through a fire station which is pretty cool and rare for a race. The water stations were ample and well stocked with water and gatorade and the volunteers were cold, wet, and cheerful.

Post Race: There as plenty of food which I was impressed with for such a small race, and once again, all of the first responders stuck around for everyone to finish so create a finishing shoot lined with fire trucks w/ ladders extended, police vehicles, swat vehicles all with flashing lights. I hope this is the only time in which flashing lights are behind me lol.

Overall: It was a well run race, it started on time, the course was well marked and they made the best of the rainy situation. There was plenty of race communication before and after the race via email as well as Facebook. The race director was quick to respond to any last minute questions and I really respect and appreciate that.
