    If you’re local and run the Canal often, you’ll be in your element since the half takes you on two loops of the Canal + WRSP + a little bit of the river trail.

    A couple of really short but steep inclines here and there, which was fun (I love quick little hill sprints). Course doesn’t cross into or go near any car traffic which is super nice. They had cookies on the course!

    Got mild hypothermia right after this race from standing around in 35 degree rain in a race kit and was possibly hallucinating as a result, so who can say if this race really is as great as I’m hyping it to be, but I had fun… I think?

    I ran this as my Indiana half marathon because I loved the swag and theme. Very nice sweater shirt for a small up-charge and a cute reindeer medal that doubles as a cookie cutter. The course was a loop you ran twice. During one portion you ran next to a well kept homeless camp that locals have since told me is well maintained. Since it’s a smaller race I ran much of it alone. Not much of an after party but they did have mimosas! My mom is 65+ and by the time she finished the awards ceremony was over and she had to ask the director for her age group winner medal. (She was still well below the cutoff time). I think the 5k would have been a lot more fun.
