I stumbled upon this half marathon as I was planning on doing a vacation to Georgia during this time anyway. The race far exceeded my expectations. It has the feel of a hometown race, but actually gathers a sizable group (300+ half marathoners). The course is hilly enough and ends on an uphill. Two aid stations had energy gels/bars with plenty of water stops. The finish line celebration was fantastic! They had a boxed lunch, complementary beer and ice cream, and waited long enough to do the award ceremony so that most of the runners were finished which was a nice surprise and led to a more encouraging atmosphere.
