Ran this for first time. Course is a trail run in a state park. Options were a three or 5 miler. Did the 5 miler.
It is run at the beginning of February. There was 6 inches of snow on the trail and then 2 days before the race it snowed another 3 inches.
So the course was completely covered in deep loose snow. And to add to the fun it was 10 degrees.
So running was treacherous at best. Most people walked / jogged the best the good by following the ruts made by the person in front of them.
It was a good workout with no chance of any pr.
The course scenery was really nice. Over hill and dale in the woods.
Race logistics were great. Parking was the only issue and wasn’t the fault of the race. Limited parking near the start and package pickup. Ended up having to park about a half mile away.
Long sleeve tshirt was nice.
Really good after race food – hot chili. Much appreciated after 5 mile run in cold.
Overall – good winter race to get out in the elements and challenge yourself and get a good workout in.
