Race is hard, but not bad. 1500′ elevation gain. Course is on gravel and rock road. Wear trail shoes, with rock plate to ease you comfort, and deeper tread. Water stops were great, food after was also. Shirt was nice, and optional. There is no medal. You can grab a tiny frog stuffed animal at check in with the race name on it.
There is a 5K that starts after the half so there is no mixing of people. Both races are related to the trail running camp that has been going on there the week before. So there are many runners that did the camp that are doing the race. Less than 100 people total for both races together and I may of been the only one from out of state. I met some nice people and enjoyed the challenge.
Not many bugs, only killed 2 deer flies. Course was mostly shaded and no spectators, except for the other runners families and the volunteers. No porta potties along the course, but lots of trees and only 1-2 cars on the road the whole time.
