This was a fun run marred by bad weather. It rained all night before and snowed during the race. Since the race course is just running along the edge of cleared cornfields, it was just running through giant mud pits. Even had to cross a section that was underwater at one point. The course is fairly flat other than the large downhill in the beginning and the large uphill about midway through. It was more about trying to not slip, fall, or injure yourself than it was finishing quickly. Still fun, and the medals were top notch and you got a small cup of cider afterwards. If the weather were good, it would be a really fun time I’d imagine.

This course is a trail run, which I didn’t know at the time but I should have. It also rained/snowed the whole night before the race so the course was very slick and muddy, I was lucky I didn’t fall but I saw a lot of folks who did. It was a FunK. There were lots of cool Fall themed activities to do which I’m sure would have been a blast if not for the aforementioned winter chill that went through the area the night before. It was a challenge, and it destroyed the pair of running shoes I was using at the time, but I don’t think I’ll do it again.
