The course started downtown but the majority of the course was on rolling county roads. There were no major climbs but the rolling hills were consistent throughout the course. The course did pass by a few small
lakes.
This race was very affordable and, as expected, the bling was modest. The race staff, local law enforcement officers, and volunteers we extremely friendly and very helpful. Despite the low entry fee, the production was very good for this race.
