Great race. Guessing the race course overview would have been helpful to locals familiar with the area, but for someone like me from across the country it was hard to follow. (The course was well marked and easy to follow.) Also, more communication ahead of the race — at least a week out — with key information would have been good. I ended up finding what I needed across the race website, but summarizing all this in an email a week to three days out would have been really helpful.

This was fun! It was technically my second half marathon, my first was last year and it was a trail run - so it doesn’t exactly compare but I liked this one way better. The only thing I would suggest is for tshirts, use regular material not drifit 🥲 but I’m not actually a runner so if runners like that better then nevermind.

It was a great location and the support from community Police was excellent and so important. There were limited bathrooms for a race day and that resulted in lines - but there was another bathroom 1/10 of a mile away that I found on my own. Very friendly people. Great course, with some slight elevation made it interesting - downhill on the way back to finish. I ran my best time there. I would run it again.

It was my first half marathon and I was very happy with the atmosphere, as it created such great energy. It definitely boosted my energy and self- esteem!
