    I ran this race because it was local race that supported our Troops. I remember liking the out and back trail run, but the end of June seemed to be way hotter than I had planned for.

    With a 7:15 start it warmed up pretty quickly with full sun. The canopy of trees on the trail helped, but the heat still got to me. I carried a bottle and never had any lack of water issues, and it was always ice cold.
    The trail was in great shape and easy on the body.
    Great medal and tank tops. Bag check a breeze. Finish area had everything, even beer, but in addition to your wristband you had to have your paper raffle ticket or no beer. Seriously, fix that.
    I’d say proceed with caution unless they move the date or start the race sooner (the sun is up by 5:00 AM). The course, it is gorgeous!
