I have run many half marathons and longer distances in the past 30 years or so. This is the most challenging half I have done. The elevation sneaks up on you after a few loops.
They are sort-of loops. You end up 50 meters short of completing a loop (for the half) and then turn around and go back to the start. This is done six times to complete the half. The scenery is nice and thankfully over half the course is in shade.
The other participants and race staff were all super nice and fun to hang with.
It definitely got hot and I was sweating profusely!! You want to bring a bottle of electrolytes to run with. Only water is provided at the start along with a few snacks. The water provided tasted good. I refilled my bottle and added another electrolyte packet while running. This most likely saved the day.
I am ok just finishing this one and was nowhere near getting a PR. I had to gut it out to finish… The medal provided seems ok but doesn’t indicate distance run.
