This is my first time running this half marathon, however, I was a volunteer last year. I can say this race was well organized, fun, and had more than double the participants as last year.

This course is a bit difficult, but isn’t most of southern Missouri with rolling hills?!?!?! The weather was great and the course was on a nice trail where spectators could move around easily to witness their runners at different locations on the course. It definitely wasn’t my personal best run, but the volunteers, other participants, finish line help were all super nice and chatty.

The swag was fun and appropriate. Everyone needs a pair of gloves to run in with a comfy hoodie and stocking cap. The medals were unique, my children have already taken it as their own.

Finish line was friendly, lively, and had hot pizza waiting for us. The Yeti even chased a lot of people to the finish line! I did hear of some issues, however, witnessed the race director making a special attempt to make sure these things were corrected for future years. I will be back next year and only expect that it will be even more fun then!
