Some gentle rolling hills, but beautiful park to run through. One small area where we run on an asphalt back road that was pretty uneven and limited sun protection since it was a warm day, but honestly not a big deal.

Beautiful smaller race
There aren't a lot of fancy frills, but Elm Creek Park is beautiful with rolling hills. Some of the trees were already changing colors. A fun repeat race. MORE

The course was gorgeous, liked the shirt and the medal is really cool. Pre-race communication was great, very clear on corrals, start time, parking, and packet pickup. Volunteers and course support was great. Only critique is the lack of snacks end of race- no Gatorade or beer- only a banana, bag of chips and water. Also needed more portapotties.
