Bravo ! This was an amazing race with so many entrants and it was so much fun navigating through the crowd during the race :) It reminded me of running from one period to another while in high school. There was so much excitement in the air both on the route and in the staging area. The folks from HEB were absolutely professional in their manner of taking care of all participant's needs. I mean, it was super simple to pick up my packet on race day, to get my shirt and there were plenty of healthy snacks and refreshments. Plus the parking was amazingly convenient. Wow! I got to park at the Commander's House parking :) The route was beautiful and had plenty of turns along with a long stretch in which I was able to "turn on the jets" and really get into my lean and rhythm. My mantra was "We're Running to Feed those in Need" and I don't know but somehow I got the sense that "everyone" was running with the same frame of mind. I will definitely be doing this race again!

Packet pickup was a little different for e this year. Typically, I pick up race day and that always goes smoothly. This year, for whatever reason, I went to the Food Bank pick up a few days before. That was well organized. In and out. at the actual race...Parking was easy. I always park right around the corner from the start/finish line but that's when I get there about 30-40 minutes before the start. There's always stuff do before the run like visit booths and get snacks and if he weather is rough, I can wait in my car (which I did one year) .But the actual run is a great way to see San Antonio at a different pace. I run the city streets regularly but there's something about being able to run the actual street and take in home.

The Event Management Team has done such a great job! Well organized!
I rate this race from the perspective of a walker who loves to walk and be involved in family-friendly activities like this. I love how extremely organized and high-quality everything always is with this 5K here in San Antonio, also how positive and helpful all of the workers/volunteers are. However I have one complaint and that is that the music was almost totally inappropriate at the event. This year, I was so sorry to hear that just about every song was about sex and quite explicitly. With folks of all ages and with all levels of morals - most pretty high morals as these are the type of people who want good for themselves and others as it is a charitable event, I don't understand why the music selections would be so perverse. There are so many great songs out there with an excellent beat for this run/walk. I greatly hope my review is read and considered so that next year, I can enjoy ALL aspects of this event. Thank you for absolutely all other facets of this 5K. You all really do an excellent job!!

Well organized and planned, Rained which I didn't mind. Traveled in from Colorado Springs, CO to celebrate Thanksgiving with family. Pre registration also easily accomplished on line at home. Was shooting for sub 50 and did a 41:53.....at age 75. Virtually flat course with a lot of runners and stroller. Change in elevations surely helped from 6600 feet to 650 feet surely aided me. An avid walker run of 3.5 to 4 miles daily I came away happy and impressed.

Todays event was once again fun for the whole family, but I was most disappointed in how inconsiderate many of the participants were. It is customary for the slower runners/walkers take to the right side of the road so the quicker runners have room on the left. Unfortunately for this run participants with dogs, strollers and slow walkers were all over the streets making it impossible for the faster participants to get through and keep a desired pace. There were no officials asking slower runners to keep to the right which was also disappointing. Please take this into consideration for next years run.
They crushed it
