  • Comments: Beautiful course the scenery was gorgeous and I ran with John until after the half way mark then he slowly pulled away as the hills really got me and I had to walk some which really made me mad at myself! My family and friends popped out on the course 5 or more times which was great to keep seeing them and they had made signs and placed them throughout the end of the course! Great support!

  • Comments: Overall a good race. It's a really scenic course. They do need more aid stations though. There was only a few for the first 13 miles and then even after that they were supposed to have them every 2 miles but I don't think they did.

  • Comments: Fun little race although this is not a beginners course. It is VERY hilly and the weather can be a factor as the course is very much on the water. May be back next year...we shall see.
