Have a buddy who knows nothing about Waco but is planning on running the Badass Half.

Anyone have info I can pass on about the course? Elevation, etc?

Thanks in advance!

I've run it twice, the last time 2 years ago

The elevation was a killer especially through MCC but I think they have changed it since.

I agree with Jack. The MCC hills are the worse. Cameron is manageable, but the MCC hills and rolling hills leaving that area are brutal after running Cameron.

Please note the the last 4 miles will be into the sun. I would suggest a running hat.

Finally, be sure to instruct him to do as much hill work and rolling hill work, if he's can find them.

May will be warm, even in the morning. I'm sure that he's a serious running so it goes without saying to be well hydrated the day before.

I ran these when they were in August. It was Hotter than Hell even at 7AM but the race was my motivation not to slack off in the summer time. Yes, MCC was BRUTAL but I think they have taken that part out and rerouted to a flatter surface.
