This was a beautiful course and I chose early start because I am slow as molasses. Stops at about every 2 miles and awesome volunteers!
The course was your typical New England “rolling hills” and that last “rolling hill” at mile 12 almost took me out! 😭
I wasn’t expecting much at the finish line because I’m slow. In the past I have had timing mats almost pulled by the time I finished. Such a pleasant surprise when I finished this race with full course support. 🙂
For my fellow back of the packers and 50 staters, I definitely recommend this race for Connecticut.

Nice Local Race
This was a nice local race in Connecticut. The course was hilly but pretty along a river. Swag was ok, nothing special. Race directors were nice MORE

Suggestion number #1 get there early and park at the finish. You can park at the finish line and walk up the hill to the start, otherwise you will park at the start line at the top of the hill and have to walk up the hill to your car after you finish.
Closest hotel to Colebrook is about 20 miles away, however; I found a great home on homeaway.com in Colebrook that worked out perfectly.
The course itself is mostly next the water and very beautiful, couple hills mixed in here and there, the last mile is a decent incline, but running to the finish across the bridge at the finish was awesome.
I took this one easy as it was my first time doing back to back half marathons, and they are very generous with the time to finish.
Shirt was okay, nice medal, decent food at finish.
