I signed up for this race on a whim while visiting Waco. It is your typical small town half marathon. Packet pickup was at a hotel near the start line on race morning which is always nice since you aren't committed to being in the area two days in a row. The race started near the Waco suspension bridge and ran all through town including through Baylor University. Lots of Baylor students out cheering. Coming from Tennessee, I assumed Texas would be flat, but that definitely was not the case. Lots of hills and inclines. Course was relatively boring and lacked a lot of crowd support, but it was to be expected with the low number of runners.
Absolute coolest part of the race was running through a zoo. It was still closed to the public at that time of morning, so we got to get up close and personal with lots of animals including my favorite one...giraffes.
Near the end of the race, they offer what is called "Jacob's Ladder Challenge." If you complete it, you get a ladder charm to hang from your medal, so of course I had to complete it. You basically ran up these massive steps that were formed into the mountain bank. Once you got to the top, you got a wristband to prove that you made it. I thought that was something neat to add to the race.

Overall, I would totally recommend this race if you are looking for a small town race with a smaller field or if you need a Texas race while racing the states.
