This was my first 1/2 marathon. It’s a very slight downhill for the majority of the whole run. It’s on a rail to trail path with a few road crossings which all had volunteers to help cross. Not a lot of people so there were times where I couldn’t see anyone else on the course. It was super chill. I would definitely run it again.
Great Race
Race was on the Chief Ladiga Trail which is asphalt. Friendly folks, plenty of aid stations. Mostly flat. Nice refreshments afterward. Photos were posted fairly quickly. MORE

This was run on a straight, picturesque, paved rail trail. The race started at the Piedmont, AL Sporting Complex, and then went on a short out-and-back along the road to the Sporting Complex. It then jumped onto the scenic Chief Ladiga Trail. The first 2-3 miles went through the town of Piedmont, then out into the country. We did two 6 mile out-and-backs on the Ladiga Trail. The first 1/2 was pancake flat, with the second 1/2 a slight uphill. Overall it was an easy course, suitable for running a PR.
