This was an event by Bishop’s Events who produce small, low key events thoughout the DC area most weekends. This was the exact same course and pretty much the same race as the “Rolling Hills” race I did there in March so I called myself a “repeat runner.” It even went to the same charity and it is an awesome charity helping out dogs and cats! You can read that review for more details. Today I just did the 5K as a “break” between half marathons. I really liked the shirt for this race. It is grey and has the dog and cat logo for the charity really big. I will wear it all the time to promote pet adoption. The course is super fun, single track trail. I wore trail shoes today and it was better with trail shoes especially as it was a little muddy but better condition that I was expecting. It is a super fun course. It is an easy trail race but a tough race if you are more used to road. I was also really impressed that they improved the course markings and had a volunteer at the one offshoot where there wasn’t someone last time based off (I assume) feedback from the runner who went the wrong way in March. It’s nice to see a race company respond to constructive feedback in a professional way after yesterday. I wish I just slept in Saturday and did this half marathon instead of that Wine Country joke of a race. Production for this race was solid though not amazing but these are low cost races and the distance was correct! The medal was the same as the Rolling Hills with the little paw print. As I’ve said before these are solid, low key races and great for combining for multi race weekends in DC.
