Great race as always. This was my third Cowtown 1/2 and is now a part of my regular racing schedule. This is a big event and is well organized. Getting to the expo can be tricky (parking) but I went on Saturday and was able to get in and out. The expo is large but easy to navigate. I thought the t-shirts were better this year...sometimes the colors are wacky! The race itself was good. The weather was a bit warmer this year but still not bad. I would say the course overall is fair but there are some pretty big hills that aren't fun. The large hill at mile 9 sucks!! The medals this year were large cowboy hats which I thought was cool....but the bells became super annoying. You could hear us coming from a mile away...lol! The "after party" is decent. My only complaint is the beer situation. They give you two free beer tickets but they serve draft beer and the line was a mile long. Overall a great race. I will be back next year.
