I accidently overslept for this race and showed up over an hour after he race started but since I flew all the way to Utah for this race, I still race it and ended up passing some of the other runners. Even though I started late, the race was putting the starting line stuff away and the race director caught up to me at mile 1 and followed me until I caught up with everyone. The race is mostly downhill of the Timpanogos Mountain in Utah

I really enjoyed this race. They cater to all the groups and 50 state marathoners/ half marathoners. The half marathon/marathon race is great with beer, drag queens, and gummy bear laced with fireball. I took advantage of using one of the race hotels. It was great because the bus took my mom down to the finish line so that was she didnt have to wait the whole time.

If you are looking for a great little race, this is it. I did the marathon and the first half is great, as you are running with everyone and you get to run through St. Charles. The second half of the marathon is tough, as there are not as many Aid stations and not that many runners. The second half of the marathon is on the Katy Trail, which is mostly flat.

I was looking at several possible races for the weekend that I ran The Woodlands. The reason why I decided to run this race was because they were looking to have someone from each state and they gave me a free entry to the race. What I really liked about this race was the starting lines. On one side of the road was the starting line for the marathon and the other side of the road was the starting line for the half marathon. This kept everything a little spread out.
