    Free race in Columbus, Georgia at beginning of January. Mostly on asphalt by the river. Portions of course are on cement, brick and wooden bridges. Plenty of water stops, restrooms on course, pacing groups. Good refreshments afterward including chocolate milk. If want a shirt you can buy one. Results pisted fast.

    Route is usually along the Riverwalk, but due to flooding the course was changed. Mostly on asphalt roads, cement trails, bricked roads and a short section on dirt/gravel/sand. Mile markers, some pacers, water/aid stops every few miles. A few hills. Nice above freezing temperature this year. Good refreshments afterward. If want a shirt it costs $25. Good medal (see attached).

    The half marathon is FREE. If want a shirt it costs $25. Course is mostly asphalt, with some cement, boardwalk, and brick areas. Plenty of water/aid stations. Temperature is usually cold. For the past 3 years they have also been giving out medals to participants. Results posted the day of the race.
