This half marathon takes place in mid-November which, in Ohio, can be a mixed weather bag. Also, there are not a whole lot of visitors on the island at that time of year so you do not get any crowd support. That said, it is a scenic and fairly easy course to run. Course congestion is not an issue since it is a small event. The islanders are very welcoming and were able to pull off the race without a hitch. After the race there was quite a bit of food for the runners and race volunteers. If you wish to have a post race beer you can head around the corner to the Village Pump for that or one of their signature brandy alexanders. It is an easy 30-minute ferry ride from Marblehead, Ohio.
