Be sure to run this one!

Very well organized. Small but well represented expo. Hotel shuttle to start and back. Indoor area pre-race hangout area. Well organized corrals. Aid stations well staffed. Spectators fair. Course is a nice tour of Ft Worth. Weather generally favorable. Run this 5 times previously.
