Statesman Cap 10k Review





I did it! 
By far the best race experience I’ve had @statesmancap10k was spectacular. I had so much fun, everything was absolutely amazing! 

The weather was perfect, the views were beautiful, and the entertainment was incredible.

There were 21,700 runners, they don’t call it the biggest 10k of Texas for nothing. 

The race was so well organized, for the magnitude of this race we were able to find parking fairly quickly and very close. We got to the race 40 minutes before the first wave of runners took off and I was able to see them go, it was very impressive.

My turn came up 30 minutes after and to start with we had a mariachi group welcoming us. The course was challenging but I was able to run the whole 6.33 miles without stopping, didn’t feel the need for a break. I got in the zone, the music was fantastic with all the live bands, I felt strong so I kept going. I completed the race in 1h 3m, my best one yet and got a new PR!

Definitely is a race that I will go back every year, reasons why: 
•Course is fun, beautiful, I love that you go on a circle and you don’t have to run any parts more than once, so it not boring. 
•They had live music throughout the course 
•The support is amazing, every weekend leading to the race they had the sunrise tour, which consisted about different 10k routes to train, to get together as a community. 
•Also, coaches available to help 
•They have prices 
•The expo is so much fun 
•Pasta night, race weekend we had discounts to a great variety for local restaurants to enjoy. 
•It is the perfect time of the year for a race, not too hot not too cold. 
•The party! It was incredible. Not just a plain banana, they had food and drinks and so much more. 

I recommend this race 100% for all the reasons I mentioned before and more. If you are looking for a race to go to next year make the Cap10k the one!
