1st timer and course was a COMPLETE JOKE! What they call a Half Marathon was down and back 6 times! So-called swag was a cheap thin lightweight medal with what couldn’t have been anymore generic! Compare that to our medal from DC! To think I paid $150+ times 2 for this substandard event is upsetting! The 2 race directors (All In The Family) are making a killing off these events because you sure don’t see a return on investment! Never again! Save your $$$ and stick with the Rock & Roll Series where you truly pay less and get what you pay for!

Race specific: The course for the half was a 1.1 mile out and back on sidewalk/greenway along the Mississippi River, repeated 6 times. There wasn’t a whole lot of shade. We stayed at a hotel across the river in Illinois, which was less than 10 minute drive to the start.

I now have completed 184 marathons and 54 halves. The 12 day series was hard for me because of injury and stomach issues. To say the least I survived the 12. My original plan was 12 full but the end result was 8 x 26 and 4 x 13. That is still a lot of races. This was my 3rd Running Ragged this year which gives me a Triple Crown. 3 belt buckles in a shadow box.
