This was my first ever half marathon and I had no clue what to expect. I had ran numerous 5k and 10ks prior to this, but never a half. I loved that it benefitted the town’s fire department and that it went to such deserving folks!
I have spent plenty of time on this trail in the past, and it is a smooth and flat course on a well maintained trail. I’d argue it’s one of the best pedestrian walking/biking trails in the state! The views are to die for, and the people on the trail are always super upbeat and friendly.
Overall I couldn’t have asked for better ammenities and aid stations. There were plenty of water stations and restrooms along the way. There was also a marathon going on at the same time that started earlier that morning. It was a drizzly day, but being a native Midwestern person I didn’t mind. There were lots of friendly folks at different mile markers cheering the runners along, which was very motivational! They also had a nice meal afterwards at the fire hall, but I didn’t spend too much time at that.
I will definitely sign up for this race again! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience 🙂 My medal looks great, and I love the shirt as well. It’s definitely a prized possession of mine.
