This was a small race for a half marathon. I came in second in my age group for 50-59 and I run an 11ish mile pace for a half marathon. The town is really cute and the trail goes all around the town. It is paved, scenic, and not super hilly. The day I ran it was super super cold. I almost bailed out except I had driven 4 hours for this. I was glad I did it. Again, the trail is awesome for such a small town. Registration and packet pickup was easy. Plenty of parking for the event. Well run event. The race was not expensive and for a local cause.

This was a small town race, in a pretty little town. But my gosh the course has some brutal hills and to add to that it was brutally windy with 50 mph gusts. But all considering it was fun and they did a decent job. There were no snacks at the end and we really kind of needed them, we were depleted. The shirts were great long sleeve 1/4 zip bright yellow and a nice medal. There were also placement medals for the age groups and overall.
