This was a fun way to start a fall Saturday. The start/finish was in the street behind Clinton’s old downtown mainstreet famous for antique shops. And also next to a very large parking area that was great for staging – plenty of right there parking, warm brick building bathrooms that didn’t have lines, smooth packet pickup.
Local participation was fun to see – the start/finish lined with cheer leaders, families either running together or supporting the runner in their family. 159 finishers in 2022. The course was basically out and back to a nice old park, along the old residential section of main street. There was a water station and plenty of volunteers at the turns. The road must have been closed to traffic or sure seemed like it. Ascent was 164 ft on my watch, just enough to warm you up. The award ceremony/door prize give aways was an hour after the start, allowing time for everyone to finish and for some, time to walk to the local coffee shop on main street. The weather was 30-40 degrees and clear, felt brisk for most of the race.
Swag was a nice blend soft short sleeve tshirt and medals for placing in an age group category, and a very nice goody filled race bag.
Definitely one of those repeatable local races.
