This was only a few miles away and worth waking up for. From the looks of the other 54 runners, they felt the same way – local folks up to support a local high school.
It started on the track at the concession stand of the football field, went out on the greenway past historic Weigel dairy, past the post office to the turn around. It was fun to run where I have only driven so many times before. There are charming older houses or the dairy field/flood plain most of the way. A nice long wooden boardwalk or sidewalks basically. My watch had 52 ft of elevation gain. Excellent police, fire, and ambulance support. The fire truck at the high school played the theme from Rocky as runners returned, sounded like a phone held up to a mic but it worked. The start was the race director saying “Go” but it was chipped timed by an area company, Personal Best Racing, they always do a great job. It ended on the football field 50 yard line, I forgot to strike the Heisman pose as I crossed the finish.
The swag was a tshirt and if you placed in an age division, a ribbon. What more could you ask for? There was a town festival with a car show and booths of local merchants and craftspeople that we spent time at between the finish and awards.
Definitely a recommendable race and worth making the effort to go to.
