  • Comments: Overall a good race. Beat the 2 hr mark and run the whole thing were my two goals. I accomplished both of them. If I had to do it over again, I would drink more water during the race. The 3 water stations were good but it wasn't enough water. Probably should carry a small bottle with me or something. I had a major muscle cramp on the way back home. We stopped for gatorade and that helped a lot. I would definitely do it again but I'll need some time to recover. haha

  • Comments: You come to Hogpen because of the nature of it. Some come to race, others to check off a box on their list. Regardless, it's a freaky fun event and I applaud all of those who run it.

  • Comments: This is a real local race. But, I must say that it is run well. While low-tech it still had a race clock, pre and post race refreshments, well manned course and prizes. It's a fun winter run and Helen is great for post race partying.

  • Comments: Very unique race. I will do it again. It's a good time with friends. A difficult course, but really, falls at the perfect time in preparation for the ING Ga marathon. Results not official. Still waiting for those to be posted.

  • Comments: Great course! However I have to rate this race as one of the worst as far as organization goes. Ran out of the correct size t-shirts, even for the pre registered runners. At the award ceremony they had no idea of finish times since they couldn't find the "Guy" with the times. Very undermanned for a $40.00 (with a xtra donation) race. I still don't know where I finished in my age group. Took over a week to get results posted online.
