I opted for a Turkey Day 5K and the half marathon @ Busse on Saturday.  Anyone else in?

I'm signed up for the Half.  This will be my first 13.1 distance... aiming for under 2 hours.

cvette4 - 2012-10-31 12:48 PM I'm signed up for the Half.  This will be my first 13.1 distance... aiming for under 2 hours.

That's a great goal!  It'll be my 12th 13.1, and I just want to finish, like always

This is a pretty fast course.  Hopefully the weather is good.

I ran it a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. I wanted to do the hm again this year but my doctor nixed it. I'm still running, just the 5k instead.

I have friends who are running it, but am not signed up....yet.  Might be a gametime decision.

I met up with the Dick Pond run club yesterday @ Busse Woods.  They were saying it's on pace to sell out this week.  I am looking forward to it, but I'm concerned the path is too narrow for 1,900 runners.  Still, Busse Woods is a nice place to have a race.

i did it last year and there were 1,500 runners and didn't have a problem at all. just noticed that it's sold out this year! good luck to everybody running!

It was a nice race... the course wasnt as crowded as I thought it would be with that many people on a trail.  I only had a couple of instances where I had to run in the grass to pass someone.  Plus there was great crowd support throughout the course.  I recommend this race.  This was my first half marathon and I beat my goal time.

I doubt that I will run it next year though as it is a couple of weeks after my IM Florida event, but we will see.

Agreed, this was a good race.  I would definitely do it again.  I was surprised that it never felt crowded.
