I ran in high school and college teams, but I had never done a road race before this. It was a little intimidating because of the reenactment of the battle of Lexington that morning, so there were people everywhere and the production was very spread out. Beware road closures and parking issues do to the reenactment! There was no map of available porta potties, but after running around for awhile and finding them, there were definitely enough for everyone. There were 1000 participants this year because of the anniversary of the battle, so I’m not sure how much this experience compares to a normal year. That said, the course was pretty great. There were absolutely some hills out there, but I’d say once you hit about halfway it was mostly downhill. The swag (shirt, bib, finisher certificate, and a medal) were really well designed and great quality. My one critique is that it would’ve been really nice to have race pictures. Overall, I had a great time, the course was challenging at times but had great water stops at every mile marker, and I would absolutely recommend this race.
