I've only run 2 non-Disney halves. Liked them both for different reasons.
One is the Austin 3M. Downhill baby- check out the elevation graph comparing Disney, RnR Dallas and Austin 3M. Great crowd support and the course was pretty and fun! Ran through UT campus at the end which I loved!

Then I just got back from the RnR Dallas. I know people hate on RnR and maybe most of the field stayed home due to the weather- but I loved much about this race! It was hilly (to me- again, see my comparison chart to understand where I'm coming from! lol) and tough for me, but lots of fun. Great bands, good food and swag, good expo. I was happy with it and would do it again.

I've also done the Cap 10K in Austin a couple of years. VERY fun- costumes and craziness. But I knew about those hills. And they still sucked! But GREAT party atmosphere. Austins a great running town!
