Pre-race communication could have been much better. The expo was really just a packet pickup – no vendors. Due to some construction in the start line area the start was kind of a mess. I loved the course, went through some pretty neighborhoods and in some parks. Weather was 65 and 100% humidity at the start and coming from a Northern state that was pretty hard to deal with. Medals are awesome!!! Post race party was nice with a good selection of snacks and the breakfast burrito was great!

Very pretty and peaceful course with well spaced aid stations and porta pots along the course. Decent amount of crowd support for the first 9 miles of the race and those people deserve a big thank you for being out there in the weather this year. We were bussed to the start line at the Dune Climb. When you get dropped off there is nowhere to get out of the weather except a restroom which was packed with people trying to stay out of the rain and wind. Communication\website could be better. Swag was nice and if I wasn’t trying to do all 50 state I would love to come back and do this one again, hopefully with better weather.

This race runs like clockwork. Expo was in the Corning Museum, it was small but had all the vendor you needed if you forgot something. Ran the 5K on Saturday and the Half on Sunday – Both were very well run. Plenty of parking near the buses and absolutely fun, energetic volunteers. They had plenty of busses to get everyone to the start and ample porta pots at the start line. The school was open to stay warm in before the race which was nice. The course was nice and pretty easy. The finish line and after party was awesome!!! COKE at the finish line, so awesome for a non-beer drinker!
All the food you could possibly need to re-fuel with. Selfie with finish line clock with your time on it was a great touch for people who PR’d or BQ’d. Would definitely run this one again. Race swag was a 1/4 zip long sleeved shirt .

Very low key race but well run. Volunteers were awesome. Course was pleasant enough, don’t forget to look for the prairie dog town along the path. We missed it on the way out but caught it on the way back. Shirt was meh.

Packet pickup was a bit of a mess with cars in lines out onto the street. Not sure if that was still a COVID deal or if that is how they always have it. Parking and shuttles for the race start were plentiful and ran smoothly. I really think they should make it mandatory to ride the buses to the start. It was a little dangerous with runners coming down while cars and buses were trying to get to the start. The start was anti-climatic as you just got off the bus, walked over and started whenever you were ready. The course itself was beautiful but be prepared for the long downhill, it will trash your legs if you are not used to it. The finish line and after party were very nice and festive. Everyone was very friendly and patient.

This race is part of the Frederick Running Festival and has a 5K on Saturday night and the Half Marathon on Sunday. Doing both makes you a “nut job” and you get a really awesome Nut Job Challenge medal besides the 5K and Half medals. This race is really well organized with great courses for both races. Very festive atmosphere with a lot of energy and great volunteers. I was very impressed with the amount of porta potties both at the race start/finish area and on course. Aide stations were plentiful and had porta potties at each of them. I would highly recommend this race for a great weekend away. Frederick is a beautiful town to meander through with a wonderful river walk.

I’m trying to do a half in all 50 states so usually I would not want to do a race twice BUT this race is one I definitely want to do again. Race Expo was small but adequate and everyone was very friendly. The race directory got everyone pumped up before the race! The race course is absolutely beautiful with several unique cheering sections (roller derby girls-you rocked). The after party was a very fun atmosphere with people hanging out and not in a hurry to leave. The band was awesome! If you are looking for a race for a girls weekend away, I can’t recommend this one enough. So well organized and plenty of other things to do in Savannah to make the trip fun even for non-running friends.

This is run on a “rails to trails” trail and is a very pretty course. It is a slight uphill to the turn around then a lovely slight downhill finish. The pre-race communications could have been better but the actual race was run quite well with very supportive volunteers. Full size candy bar at the finish was a plus 🙂 Since Covid is still around there was no awards ceremony and no after party but a great getaway weekend to knock out another state. If you need a lot of crowd support this is not for you but if you want some peaceful running through the woods (paved trail) then I recommend this race.

This is an Ultras, Marathon, Half and Relay. This would be a very fun race to do as a relay with your friends. This race is run at night, starting at 10 p.m. in a State Park. The pre-race communication was absolutely awesome. You can tell this race is near and dear to the RD heart as he puts so much effort into it. It is a loop course where you have about 450′ of elevation per loop so if you are doing the marathon you should be prepared for that. Aide stations and on course porta potties were plentiful. You have to wear headlamps and reflective vests or clothing. Definitely a great place to get there a day or two early and get some hiking in.
