Seabrook Lucky Trail Marathon

This was my 94th marathon and all I have to say is great job! The course was scenic and mostly trails. The organization was perfect. The spectators were just right. Great job!!

This was my 37th marathon. If it wasn't the best marathon experience, it was definitely top 3. From registration (no stupid hidden 'registration fee')through post-race festivities & food, it was top notch. I'll vouch for all the positive comments from previous years here. The only possible complaint that some runners could have is the fact that it is 4 loops and you pass many of the same points 8 times during the race. I didn't mind, but I guess that could be a concern to some. But to me, it never got old or repetitive. Highly recommended!

This is the best marathon I have ever run. And I have run 26. It has a great vibe. The trail is often narrow and you do frequently run facing other runners, but your name is on your bib. Because it is a 4 loop course you see the same runners and volunteers often. So your fellow runners encourage you on. The same is true for the volunteers. As a plus the announcer calls out your name and home area each time you complete a loop. Plus the food is great: chicken sandwiches, hamburgers, beans & rice, water, green beer, soda, ice cream and much more. Plus there is enough for everybody. It is perfect for the whole family. Great food at the race and great food/lodging in the Galveston Bay area. The crushed stone course is forgiving to your legs as a final bonus. The course is flat with nice water views. There are some faster courses but once in a while treat yourself to a fun race.
