I actually ran the SquatchFecta which is the 13.1, 10k, 5K & 1 mile for a total of 23.4 miles. Let me just start by saying there are a lot of rolling hills both up and down…very little flat running especially the half course. Nice amount of aid stations with gatorade, water and gels. Volunteers were all nice and pleasant. The scenary is quite rural with a whole array of animals you may come across including cows, horses, dogs, cats, etc. I personally enjoyed the route.
The medals (especially if you do the Squatchfecta and get the connector piece) are nice as is the race shirt. Quite a few photos are available as well.
The finish line area had an assortment of drinks to choose form but oddly there were no snacks at all. No bananas, bars, donuts, etc which was a bit surprising. If I had one complaint this would be it…the people DEMAND bananas!!!
All in all if you are looking for a challenging course I would definately recommend this one.
