Notes
1. We've not seen complete posted results for Freedom 5K in Sugar Land. 63 finishers through 28 minutes is all that is currently posted on the First Colony Community Association site.
2. The Firecracker 5K in College Station, produced by the BCS Marathon, is an untimed race; therefore, it is not included.
3. We've not seen any posted results for the Coolest 5K in Texas in Fort Davis, which was held on the Fourth of July.
4. We saw references to the Pioneer Firecracker 5K in Leon Valley, held on the Fourth of July, on the RRPTiming.com website, but so far no results.

Jon, I am not sure I am seeing the # of Texas Bud Heatwave 5K racers in your numbers. I think based on results that there may have been 301 racers in this secondary event by the folks who put on the Texas Bud Heatwave 5 Miler...
