    Race started 30 minutes late due to late runners heading to start on shuttle. The anticipated warm weather day made that for a concern but the tree cover helped keep most of the trail shaded. Race director stated this was the third race and they would continue to improve and am confissent they will get there. Nice quiet run with small race field and no spectators except those on the trail handing out water and fuel. Enjoyable quiet run that at times felt like you were in the woods on your own

    Wonderful route out and back, volunteers were friendly and well informed.
    It was pouring rain for some of the event…. drizzled all the time. Yet we had a great time, even though it was a little muddy in spots, lots of water, lots of support. delicious pizza at the finish line with fruit and other snacks. A must do for the scenery alone- especially if you love trails! No pavement anywhere. My 60th half
