    This is a mostly downhill course along a nice rail trail. A very nice race with a great Patagonia tech shirt and a BBQ at the finish. I would highly recommend this race to anyone who might want to spend a weekend in the Fingerlakes region of NY.

    plenty of cheer squads to keep you going, aid stations have sports drinks and water and some have gels. first part of race is on a rail trail and a gradual downhill second half brings you through two parks and around a lake then you finish at a high intensity commons area in the city. great fun look forward to doing it again

    The course was changed this year (2016) from 3 hills to 1 hill. The first 7 miles were flat and along a nice river. Then were the 5 miles uphill–which was more gradual than I expected. There were a few short steep parts but it ended up evening out to rolling hills after you got past the steepness. There was A LOT of shade which was very nice since it is summer. The post-race was amazing–lots of food, beer, and music. We received 2 finisher’s items: a water bottle for the half and a “plaque”–no medal. If you wanted a race shirt, you had to buy it, which I didn’t appreciate but I bought one anyway. BUT you did get a free 13.1 Ithaca magnet and sticker with your bib, so that was cool! I would 100% run this again. It was a very well-organized fun race where runners are really appreciated.
