Great race, would run this one again! Beautiful scenery on a bike path by the river and wine vineyards. The weather was perfect. Bib pickup was simple and the zip up hoodie is very nice. Only complaint is my 1/2 marathon bib had the incorrect year

Swag is awesome! I chose to run this race because it was on my birthday this year! Not only is the hoodie of nice quality (60% cotton) but it also says June 21 2025 on it! I will wear it with happy vibes.
The medal says the June 21 date on the ribbon and medal itself! My first one that says 42.2 km!
The course itself was a hybrid of the w&od and mt Vernon bike paths here in nova. Some slight ups going out (with a big one at mile 7) and slight downs coming back; some tree cover.
I was hoping to finish in five hours, and it was going to be eighty degrees at the end so I wore my hydration backpack with 1.5L reservoir. Did not use aid stations on the way out. Refilled reservoir at 20k aid station on return. They didn’t want to put too much in, which meant that I ran out again between 10 and 5k remaining. Refilled at 5k. Was getting hot and cranky but managed to hang in there and keep pushing. They had Gatorade, water, coke, chips and skittles. Brought my own gels. They had secret ice that I asked for at 20k remaining and 15 k remaining.
The finish was nice and in the shade; signs for 800m, 600m, 400 and 200 m. I was really digging deep and pushed to the end. So I finished in 4:55 and was pretty much middle of the pack for the marathon; there was one bottle of water on the water table and a igloo cooler that was almost empty. That made me cranky. I guess the halfers drank it all. I was very sweaty and thirsty. But the medal is so pretty. And it was my bday!
