Subject: RE: Great Buckeye Challenge or Toyota Challenge? depends what you are looking for course wise.
Buckeye has a rolling bike course, one small hill on the run, and a much more scenic course overall.
Two loop bike, double out and back run (typical HFP long race run format ).
Toyota is one of the fastest half courses in the area *IF* the weather is nice. I have never done this race with anything less than 15mph winds. It is DEAD flat save for the end of each loop on the bike, run is flat. The whole course is out in the sun and very open.
Both are fun races for their own reasons.
Buckeye is a bit harder course (nothing too much for a first time though by any means ), toyota teh weather is normally what makes it harder.
You really cannot go wrong with either. |
