    We really enjoyed this race. The shirt is one of my favorites because it’s so comfy. It’s a good wind break but not too hot. The medals were unique and really portrayed the event for the firefighters. Some of them ran the entire half in full gear. So impressive! The free race photos were really nice and the pacers were on point. My boyfriend earned a PR by sticking with the 2:00 pacers. They were encouraging and made the race so fun! The parking was easy and there was a lot to do at the finish line.

    I enjoyed this race quite a bit; it really showcased the beautiful, scenic parts of Fayetteville. There were lots of aid stations with motivating volunteers. The course wasn’t overly hilly. The finish line was great though, tons of people there and in a nice downtown area to finish. I would recommend this race.

    There could be a few more shuttles to the start line. This race grew a lot this year so hopefully next year there will be more. The race started about 10 minutes late to let the last shuttle arrive.
