    Really a fun half marathon. 2022 was a classic January race, 19 degrees at the 8:00 start and 28 degrees two hours later at the finish, on a brilliantly clear winter day. The route was along the greenway with much of it by the Tennessee river. The start and finish were at Volunteer Landing on the waterfront with Neyland Stadium as the backdrop.
    The course was Y shaped which is fun since you get two chances to go by everyone, in a race of 71 runners, that helps it seem more compact and friendly instead of strung out in a loop. My watch had total ascent of 292 ft., most of which was crossing over the river twice from close to water level.
    Production by Personal Best Racing was excellent as usual. All the road crossings were staffed by volunteers and police together. The course was well marked and well thought out for a very enjoyable run. They even coordinated with Calhoun’s restaurant to have a section open early for post race food, really a great idea with the low temperatures.
    The swag was great, who wouldn’t want the tshirt and “squishy” medal with a unicorn? Definitely time well spent today.

    So first, thank you to the amazing coordinators! My husband and I traveled from out of state, and didn’t know that our drive from Nashville would cross time zones. We showed up an hour late. They told me they could use my Garmin data, and we were off.

    The course was gorgeous. Everything was so cute and small town!

    Not much of a finish festival (I could have used a local beer) but I did get my medal engraved.
