It’s taken way too long to post about this race… so I’m going to put something (small) up rather then nothing at all.
The inaugural Run Austin Run Half Marathon was held on Oct 11, 2009. The event was just the right size… not too many people, but enough to support the required aid stations.
All in all, the event went pretty well. The morning brought dark skies and rain, which I enjoyed. Unfortunately, this scared away some of the aid-station volunteers and most of the finish-line vendors. But all this stuff is really just icing on the cake that is a fun run through Austin’s west side. The course support like road-blocks and medical tents were all in place, so a few missing volunteers is OK.
The minor issues are easily be attributed to the fact that it was the first time the event was being held. I have high hopes for next year’s event.
There are a few photos of me on the official race photographer’s website.
