"Very well organized" (General Comments)

COURSE: 4 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3

Jan 2000 I ran my 6th Houston Marathon. Total to date I have run 14 marathons. Houston is my favorite because of the course, the spectators and the start/finish location. I've run Boston, NYC, Chicago, Austin, White Rock, but they all start and end without any type of shelter. The convention center is great. Nobody can control the weather, so it's nice to know you can start and finish in comfort. Also the food at the end is always great. I guess Houston spoiled me, because I always hate wondering around in the open looking for a bus with my bag then standing in line for food. I always enjoy the crowds in Houston also. I like the flat course. The high point is an overpass.
Now if the weather would cooperate....

"The Hoopla is the best" (about: 1998)

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5

I've run this marathon 4 times. Each time it is a tremendous rush to have crazy people (why would they line the streets at 8AM on Sunday morning) cheering you on, goading you, feeding you and distracting you from the task of running. The course is mainly flat so times can be really good. Except that one time it was way humid. Overall, great course to run!!!
