Cate 's thoughts:

Best post-race party I've ever been to. There's scores of vendors and samples to snack and sip, with everything from a maple bacon granola to beet salad and steak fajitas, and then even more packaged treats to take home like chocolate-covered macadamia nuts and black bean pasta. I had a Tito’s + green juice mini cocktail as well as some red wine … all before 10 a.m.

Pre-race is pretty fun too: packet pickup was at a coffee shop, there was a VIP cocktail hour with celebrity chefs and runners (in 2016 they had Ryan Hall!), and a dance warmup got me - if not physically - mentally prepared.

The first mile of the course was a run-of-the-mill stretch through Austin's Mueller neighborhood. Then it detours to gravel, and finally sidewalk. The latter portions are not closed to traffic from other park patrons, so watch out. However, most people here are probably not chasing PRs so it's not a big deal.
