This was a gem of a race–SO glad I found it. The course started by a lake and had beautiful scenery throughout. It had a lot of downhill (but no brutal downhills) and enough uphill to keep it real. I would 100% recommend this race just for the scenery and slope itself. Besides that, though, it was also just really well put-together. This race had all the details that make races great …. from excellent swag bags, to race t-shirts you’re excited to wear again, to well-stocked aid stations and finish line, hand-carved wooden medals, motivational posters spaced periodically throughout the course, photographers at multiple places on route, and food vendors and a roll-out station at the end. At the finish line they gave boxes of crumbl cookies for the winners, and dang it of that isn’t the greatest winner prize ever, haha. Only way that would have been better is if I’d been one of the winners! Anyhow, this race was pretty small with not a ton of participants (it’s a new race), but in my opinion that just made it better. I would definitely do this again and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone considering it next year!
