I don’t think there’s a race in Raleigh that is not hilly and this race is no exception. The course is mainly on the paved greenways with lots of rolling hills. The course begins downhill, running through the neighborhood before entering the greenway. The course has 2 out and backs one two different greenway trails before ending with the final mile climb to finish. The elevation for the last mile is 176 feet. Great volunteers. Ok bling.
Nice but nothing special
This course is pretty nice along a river. The course ends on an uphill which is unfortunate. Decent swag, decent medal. Production is above average and nothing major to complain … MORE

Scenery around the lake was nice and shaded. Easy to run on and the traffic support through the housing and main streets was well covered. The first couple of miles and return may surprise you.

I was apprehensive about this race because of the advertized hilly finish.
This race was part of the Triple Crown series so a DNF was not an option.
Happy to report that not only was the support along the run top notch, per usual Race 13.1, but there was music along it, a somewhat pleasant surprise.
The organizers did a great job in ensuring all were happy and well supported.
The finish area was well organized, my only beef being only one traffic congested exit.
I would have no reservations in recommending Race 13.1 events to anyone.
