This was a hilly course, there were only two that I had to actually walk up and for me that is a HUGE Improvement! The scenery was fantastic, ran over a covered bridge and the farm views. You are running on an active road so pay attention to oncoming traffic. Course support was great, water and gatorade was available to the runners.
The MC for the event made sure to remind runners of the turn around points. This actually made it very easy for me to gage where I was and the distance still to cover. It was an out and back course but this one I didn’t mind, probably because I am getting use to them but the scenery does help. I loved having those hills on the downward. The last 1 km is flat and then downhill to the finish line. I had a better run and I beat my goal time by 9mins, it felt good as I have a Marathon coming up in October. Helps with the confidence.
Overall, I loved how small this event was, I didn’t have to sway too much around runners in the first 10k and the last 10k there wasn’t anyone in my way. I would highly recommend this early September Run.

A beautiful race! Great parking, well organized and great course support. Post food was typical run food but to sit on the water and eat was a treat. They also had the local chiropractor giving every runner a free stretch after their event. Not only did they recognize top 3 male/ female, they announced all age group winners. Though this race states there is a cut off, they did not pull the last two runners from the course. Instead, they encouraged the runners to cheer them on. If I was to make one less than positive comment, it would be the 8 am start. I personally like early starts. I would do this run again.
