I highly recommend this race. I was thrilled to discover the beautiful capital city of Harrisburg and even more excited to write the first review! The event had a warm, community-run feel, made even better by the great weather, especially after hearing it rained the previous year.
I decided to join just the day before and registered only a few hours ahead of the start. Everything went smoothly, and one of the highlights was the flexibility to choose your distance on the spot.
If you tend to need water frequently, I’d suggest bringing your own, as hydration stations don’t appear until around miles 4 or 6.
Communication from the organizers was excellent. My last-minute questions were answered promptly, which made me feel confident about jumping in so spontaneously. Another big plus was the convenience both the start and finish lines were within walking distance of the train station, making it very accessible by public transportation.
