“This was my first time running the Irving Marathon Series, and I couldn't have picked a better race, for my first marathon!!! We were also from out of state, and were very impressed. From registering, to receiving my race packet the night before, everything was so seamless and organized!! The morning of, everything ran so smooth. We didn't start right at 730 am, started about 10 minutes late. Loved the water stations with the Gatorade, pickle juice, water, bananas, and oranges. Highly recommend!!

“I did my first ever half marathon (which also my first ever running events ever) during the Irving Frost. All the staff were super accommodating in explaining to me and answering all my dumb questions. I had a great time running with my group and pacer, and even got some encouragement from others as well. I enjoyed the experience so much that I signed up for the Love on the Run to do another half marathon. Thanks to everyone that day that helped make it special for me!” -Roderick 2023
