    I signed up for this a week or two ahead of the race – not to race this, but to run it as a training run. It fit my training perfectly.

    Administration: top notch, plenty of communication, the RD sent out a handy little race packet via email ahead of the race with everything you needed to know. Packet pickup was morning of, parking was plentiful, the course was extremely well-marked, and the finish line and aid stations were well stocked. The volunteers were enthusiastically helpful and kind.

    Course: Beautiful trails!! and these are private trails, so a great opportunity to check them out. About 90% single track, and the rest on some fire road, a little bit of paved road, and a little bit of open field to connect it all. The course description says 5000ft of climbing over the marathon, but I only had 3500. Overall — mostly runnable, no enormous or super long climbs, but all rolling and up and down.

    Location/Lodging/Etc.: The course is at Miller School of Albermarle, a private prep school near Charlottesville. So, no matter what you’ll have to drive to it. I stayed in Staunton (about 30 min away), Charlottesville is slightly closer, but it was a home game and parents weekend, so hotels were scarce and $$$.

    SWAG: I got a cute gender-specific, light-weight hoody. I think high quality. I also got a buff for winning my AG. And it looked like the running club was giving away extra SWAG they had from previous races.
