  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The training was better than the race. I didn't meet my two goals, but met my 3rd goal of pacing under 10 min./mile. They needed better organization of water stations. No bananas passed the 1st station. Could have used a massage tent! Need to get my nutrition worked out for a run event if I am doing something for more than 100 minutes.

  • Comments: This is a nice race to run.....the Lasagna after this year was awesome. Would definately do this race again, although I would better prepare myself with a few little things that could make a big difference in how I run it.

  • Comments: I really enjoy this race -- it's fun, challenging, scenic. GREAT route, really. And an awesome venue... with the luck of better weather (though it *IS* Wisconsin in November), it would be one big party from start to finish. The downsides... they could have used more volunteers at some intersections to hold back traffic. Also, of the 3 water stops, one of the them I had to wait for gatorade because there were only two people working the table and they didn't have enough poured by the time I got there. Also - the post-race festivities were great, but they could use a bigger tent since everyone really needed to be out of the wind. That said - I would totally do this race again. In fact, I'm looking forward to doing it again next year and taking on those hills again!

  • Comments: This is a great race. I think they did a very good job. Its only their 2nd or 3rd year and I think it will only get better. The course is fantastic. Challenging and very scenic (around the lake). Having a race at a brewery is a great concept. I think if weather was better, they would be able to have a great party atmosphere. Since they have the bar and they have the band and all. It could be great. Some minor issues, though. 1) The weather may have had them short on volunteers and they needed to have more, especially at the intersections. A couple of times we were running right into traffic with no one in sight. 2) Water stations. I am so glad I brought my fuel belt. I know it was only a 1/2 marathon, but it seemed like there was only 3 water stations. That might be enough in cooler weather, but if it was warmer, they may have had issues. They will also need a bigger tent next year. I would defintiely like to stay and hang around and whoop it up with live music and

  • Comments: they get good marks for finishers medals (tho they ran out) and the post race activities were way cool (mainly cuz of donks), but lose MAJOR points on poor course markings (actually saw about five guys in front of me cut, not on purpose im sure, just due to confusion). the water spot at around mile 5, the two peeps there were just standing there, i feel they shouldve been handing the cups out........am i being too critical????
