This was my first CIM and I loved seeing my hometown from a totally different perspective. The race is well-supported, the finish line ammenities are great, and the aid station at mile 21 was absolutely amazing!!! My only complaint, really, is that this year’s relay challenge shirt colors areb’t that great (silver ink on a gray shirt, hard to see, not very “nice” looking) and the shirt itself is rahter thin, even for a tech tee. But that won’t stop me rom signing up again!!!

This was both my first trail race and my first event running with TBF. I loved it! I plan to both run & volunteer with TBF in the future! The course was great, I had a lot of fun (even when I fell), and the support was awesome! Plenty of well-stocked aid stations, and having a HOT meal at the finish was amazing!

This was my 2nd half marathon & my first nighttime race. It was definitely different racing on a warm summer evening, but it was nice as it got dark & cooled down somewhat. It was an enjoyable event that I hope to do again in the future, and the glow-in-the-dark shirts are super fun! My only complaint was that the final mile of the half was on a rocky gravel road with no lighting… I feel that the route could be reworked so that this part would be done during the daylight, and the final miles would be better off being flat paved road, if possible. I realize headlamps could help with this – but it’s a minor annoyance to wear a headlamp for a couple hours ahead of time, to only need it in the last 20-30min. Overall, though, it’s a fun event that I liked a lot.

I ran Shamrock’n 2015 as my first half marathon, on a whim, relatively untrained. (Previous longest run had been 8 miles.) I enjoyed it a lot & plan on repeating it for a course PR in 2016!

This was the first race I’d gone to completely alone. I did the 7-miler since it was only a week before what was to be my first half marathon. It was a fun vent & a good training run. If I repeat it next year, I’ll go for the half! We’ll see… Tour de Fit is a lot of fun, but the costs add up quickly! I wish there was a “package deal” of some sort for signing up for numerous TdF events all at once…
