This is a great small town race that runs through Waco, Texas. It's put on by the same people who run the Miracle Match Marathon in January and they put on a great race. They are great about communicating with participants and are rather witty which makes me actually want to read their emails. They also allowed same-day packet pick up, which was great because this race is run the weekend after thanksgiving when lots of people are probably traveling.

The course was a two loop course, which I'm not a huge fan of, but we did run through the fire station bay doors twice. The aid stations were simple--just water and Gatorade--but the volunteers were great because it was really cold this year and they stuck it out!! The finish line was awesome! There were 16 fire trucks lining the way, which really made you feel like a rock star. The medal is great--it actually has blinking lights--and I heard the RD say next years will hopefully be a police car, possibly with a siren! We also got a long sleeve tech shirt.

Overall, it was a good local race and I would love to run it again next year!
