  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: For a first time half-marathoner, this was a fantastic day. Couldn't ask for better running conditions with a high of around 49 mid-day with barely any wind at all and the sun shining. It was gorgeous out. I think a lot of people hated doing all the hills, but when they were finally done, they said wow that was the best race I ever raced. Great job GSV!

  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It's only in its fourth year, but this is a wonderful, well-run event. They seamlessly handle a full, half and relay on the same course. The community clearly has great love for the event and the organization it supports. Access to showers, a pool, and a hot tub post-race are the gu on the honey stinger waffle. (That's my sad attempt to re-do icing on the cake for endurance athletes.) I had my first post-race massage at this event. If they keep it on a Saturday, I hope to return each year. I may make this my first full marathon some day.
