My hubby Bill and I traveled to Harrisburg, PA on Saturday morning to run the Central PA 10K. The one-mile fun run associated with the 10K race was named “The MIlkshake Mile” because all participants in both races received a world-famous (OK, maybe just state-wide famous) Farm Show milkshake after the race.
The course begins on the campus of Harrisburg Area Community College. It quickly transitions to a flat bike path, which is part of the Capital Area Greenway. After running on the bike path for about 1.5 miles, runners circle Wildwood Lake on some rolling trails, some paved and some cinder for about 3 miles. You then return to the same bike path and return to HAAC campus and the finish line.
Waiting at the finish line is a good array of post-race food, including soft pretzels and milkshakes, a DJ, vendor stands giving out free samples of various products.
I loved the race and the post-race festivities. If you are in the area, it is definitely worth running.
