First and foremost, this was my first half marathon, so I don’t have many other races to compare it to. That said, I had a positive experience overall. The course was solid, and there were plenty of water and hydration stations along the route, which made the race feel well supported.
The participant T-shirt was one of the highlights for me – it was a great dry-wick athletic material and felt much nicer than the typical race shirt. The rest of the swag bag was fairly average (a toothbrush, one packet of electrolyte powder, coupons to local businesses, etc.), so nothing especially memorable there.
Not sure if this is normal, but the FREE race photos post-event were amazing!
The finisher medal was nice, though not the best I’ve seen. I also appreciated the post-race refreshments, especially the drinks and banana at the finish line. Overall, I thought the Cedar Rapids Half Marathon was a well-organized event and a great first half marathon experience.
