  • Comments: I always love this race. Its small, challenging but still not too bad. I guess sorta reminds me of Boston even though I have never ran it. At the end is a little hill to really try and break you. Depends on how determined you are to get up it. Love the race.

  • Comments: This is a nice race and I might perhaps do it at a real race pace next year considering how well I did in my AG with just the 8:25 overall pace.

  • Comments: Some of the aid stations were kind of short, so I just didn't stop, but with the temperature and it only being a half (for me) it wasn't a problem. Getting out of the parking lot after the race was an issue because the only way out crossed the marathon course (still ongoing) so it was VERY slow going. Overall, I really like the feel of a smaller race, and the volunteers were great out there in the rain. The small food/finish building wasn't quite sufficient for the number of people finishing during the half (at least around my pace), but was probably fine for the marathon group (less of them, spread out more). They were actively trying to improve the flow while I was in there. I had a great race and can't really complain!

  • Comments: This was a very fun race. I could have done without the rain, which started around mile 9-10 for me. The race was well organized, though they need a better plan for exiting the fairgrounds. All exits cross the course, so at best only a handful of cars get out each time.
