I love this race and have been doing it for years. The new course this year was crammed with people and tough to maneuver around. It was pretty running around the lake but felt like the previous course had more shade than this new course did. At the finish line you didn’t have a water station either. Huge mistake! Thank goodness for the Truist vendor booth for having water. Overall, love what this event stands for. Not a fan of this new course.
It was great to have so many people directing the runners so that there was never a question of which way to go. Please bring back 100% cotton t-shirts. The design is beautiful, but sadly I will never wear this polyester shirt. Well organized and I loved that we sang the national anthem.
Ran tried and true Freedom 5k route through Rowlett
One of the reasons we chose to run this one again this year is for the nice tech shirt. The run was well-organized and for a good cause. Looking forward to the run this year.
So much fun. Beautiful, flat course. Well managed with blocked streets and water at the halfway mark. Early start to keep you from the heat. Excellent tech tshirt and nice medal. 5/5 stars. Great race to start running or to get back into it.
