I’ve run this race at both the previous location and the new course this year, and while each has its strengths, the new venue really stands out.
The old course—running along the river—was flat and scenic, with some cooling effect from the water. That said, it could feel a bit repetitive, with long stretches of similar views and limited tree cover, which made hotter days feel even more intense.
The new course was a completely different experience—in the best way. It’s almost entirely wooded, with beautiful surroundings and constant changes in scenery that kept it interesting from start to finish. The rolling, undulating hills added a great challenge and did a nice job engaging different muscle groups without feeling overly punishing. It was a more dynamic and rewarding course overall.
A few areas for improvement: there were very few porta potties available, and the lack of trash cans was noticeable. Also, my watch measured the 10K course at 6.5 miles, so it may benefit from a quick course verification.
Overall, though, the new location offers a more engaging and memorable race experience—I’d definitely run it again.

This was my first time running this race and I was a little concerned about the logistics – which required a bus ride to the starting line. I need not have worried. This was a very well run race (pun intended) and logistics were smooth. If you’re going for a personal best, this is the race to do it at. The route follows a gentle downhill slope nearly the whole way with just a few undulations to keep it interesting. This was a super fun race that I’m definitely adding to my calendar for next year.

Overall, this is just a great race. Well run, loved the shirt and medal this year. Flat, partial gravel, route along the Mighty Mo’ River. Thankfully, the weather was quite nice this year, making an enjoyable race even better.
