They had some great post-race refreshments which included water, Gatorade, banana. Food trucks are on the side of the road as well. There were also tons of giveaways that I got and awesome stuff.

There is a post-party event with bands and its really cool. I stayed around longer and met some cool friends through my neighbor who is an avid runner @vantasticrunner (Twitter).

The SWAG

Finisher Medals for the 5K finisher and Cool T-shirts.
The coolest thing about the medals is that you have to collect them for the next 3 years to make the Dallas skyline (how cool is that??) so I am locked in for the next few races

THE COURSE

The course was generally flat and but your final 0.1 mile to the finish is a steep hill that will be a challenge. There were crowds are usually along the way and the finish line. Bearing in mind that you are running in downtown Dallas, the race was well organized and coordinated.

3 REASONS TO RUN

1. They have an awesome post-race party and its very kid-friendly
2. If you want to nice run around the city of Dallas and see the beautiful streets, this is the race.
3. Very nice people and organizers as a whole. everyone is smiling and laughing.

RACE EXPERIENCE

The weather this year was cold and it drizzled so I ran in a poncho but it was still great. The crowd was as I have mentioned before lively and fun. There is this one exhibitor that has some out-of this world cakes -OH MY GOSH!!! I had to have 2 varieties as my guilt snack right after the race...Hey I earned those calories!!!
So 364 days to the next race in 2019
