    This 10 mile race is completely on small gravel rail trail. It is flat and fast. Bib pick up is race day. They will bus you to the start due to it being a point to point race. Small field of runners doing the 10 mile. There is also a 5k, walker and bikers on the trail. The trail crosses roads a few times and the intersections are covered by flaggers. There are a couple water stops. Little to no spectators except for a few family members that move from one area to the next to catch a glimpse of their runner.

    The best thing about this race is the age group award. It is a handmade, runner figure made from a railroad spike (see photo). Very unique and locally coveted award.

    This year the race ended at an area where a beer festival was happening. There were 2 food trucks and a few beer vendors. You have to pay to get the beer. A meal ticket is part of the race entry fee but one food truck ran out of food, so there was only one option.

    One negative about this race is that it starts at 1:00pm. It’s tough to plan for that start time as far as eating and it pretty much takes up your entire day.

    Woo-HOO, congrats on the age group win Shelly! And you're right, that's a cool-looking award — hopefully it helped offset the fact that the race started right in the middle of your Saturday. Here's to a winning weekend, and thanks for another excellent review! LESS
