Highland Park Half Marathon

The course is lovely, you only repeat one small section. The other review said it was flat… It was not! There is a bit of elevation here and there, and one hill! It was more hilly than my usual neighborhood runs. I thought the course was fairly picturesque, for a suburban race.
Post race hot dogs and non-alcoholic beer… I’d give one more star if it was real beer.

The expo: easy packet pickup, lots of stuff for sale, got a giant bag of protein powder as a goodie bag. Tshirt was cute! Expo was pretty small. Hubby was able to sign up last minute for the half (at a higher price, of course).
The race: There were 2 corrals that took off about 5 minutes apart. The first couple of miles goes up a hill, where there is a water station, then it’s about 4 miles of downhill, until an aid station at 6.6 miles. Lots of people got lost on this section due to inadequate signage. All paths eventually lead to the correct track, however I definitely gained unnecessary distance here.
There are parts of the trail where you run single file on the side of a canyon. This is the most picturesque part and also a bit scary. I was very self conscious of people wanting to pass me here. There is nowhere to move to let people pass.
The second longer half of the trail is mostly uphill, with at least 2 miles of ankle deep sand towards the end. The sand section is HARD! Basically, rolling hills where I ran the downhills and sunk deep in the sand crawled the uphills. Definitely something to train for! I had no idea how to run this part properly. I was so exhausted, I missed the last water station, and was completely on empty towards the end. Clocked 14.1 miles.
They give you a nice snack box and a banana when you are done. There were 2 food trucks, and you get a coupon to redeem for food. None of the food was very appetizing. The Navajo Taco is just a deep fried mess. I wish they had beer. The medal is very cool, and it’s much bigger for the longer distances.
Overall, a great experience for my first trail race. Looking forward to racing with Vacation Races again!

This was my first ever half. It’s a fast course, big sections are along Lake Michigan, not too much backtracking. The race production was ok… The shirts/sweatshirts were not made of technical material, so I couldn’t use them for the race. Not a lot of crowd support, especially towards the last few miles of the course. Lots of water stations but no gels/snacks given. Beer and Potbelly’s at the finish line.
