Tonight in Dallas is the very popular Katy Trail 5k. I am not running it this year, but I know lots of friends are. I thought I’d repost my review of it from 2 years ago. If you want to see larger views of the pictures, just click on them. Have fun people!

May, 2012. Dallas. The full title of the race: The Michelob Ultra #13 Katy Trail 5K.
This one was a fun one, but not a good one to record good times. Lemme ‘splain. In Dallas, Katy Trail is a popular running and biking trail. It’s a great place to get your sweat on, but when 5000 people are there to race, it is pretty crowded. The trail itself isn’t that wide, so when you have a gaggle of folks out there, it was quite congested. And a LOT of them were novice or non-runners, so there were walkers, sometimes four across. I had to do a lot of swerving and dodging. It didn’t help that I got stuck in the middle of the pack at the start.
Other than that though, it was a blast. Lemme ‘splain. The Katy Trail is lovely, and there were lots of lovely people running…

I’m a fan of races that give you free beer and food. Look like a fun race!
Me too! And it seems like more and more are doing that. The Oktoberfest 5k here is epic with free beer!
We plan to do our first octoberfest this year, can’t wait.
Sweet! Have fun! They do it pretty big here (German immigrants settled in many parts of Texas back in the day).
