Parked in the parking garage and then there is a short walk to the starting line. It was dark out but there were race volunteers and lighted paths along the way to tell us where we needed to be.

CG warmed us up and race started on time. I'm a slow runner and was a bit disappointed that there wasn't any pacers at my pace. I can't remember where they stopped though -im thinking the last pace group was 2hr 30min??

Course is around White Rock lake which is beautiful and very familiar with DFW runners. There was great course support and people to cheer along the way.

There is always a lot of vendors and freebies to pick up at the end. Swag consisted of a drawstring bag, hat, shirt and the finisher medal.

Here in Texas, Sept is still very hot even though you want to think it's Fall. This race isn't an exception. Train to run in the sun!
