I ran this for the first time and I’m glad I came out to support a local community organization. 9-miler was just shy at 8.8, which they acknowledged prior to the start but getting exactly 9 where the start and finish is is challenging due to road constraints. Lots of great homemade goodies at the finish, plenty of water on course and post-race. Nice medals for age group finishers and large trophies for top overall male and female winners. Course is challenging with 2 large hills. First one starts out deceptively easy but you round a bend and it gets steep. Second one is one you run down early in the race. Not nearly as long as the first major hill. Both times you’re rewarded with a long downhill section right after, so that’s a plus.
I will definitely return to this in the future!
