Heavily supported by local community. It seemed like the entire town knew about and supported the race. Would definitely consider running it again in a future year.

This race was fantastic. Great communication by directors. Mostly paved (a stretch of packed gravel which was easy to run on, two bridges that were a little icy but great volunteers letting people know before you crossed), a couple of small hills. Really pretty course. Great community support. Would definitely recommend and will do this one again!

This was the inaugural race it look like the last chance to get a Midwest state before winter set in. Great communication before the race, numerous emails about anything you could possibly want to know including weather updates before the race during and after. Big round of applause to the race directors
A few hills in the middle of each loop as you ran onto the levees by the river. All groomed and great for running, the rest of the course was on city streets everything was well marked and plenty of safety at intersections. Aid stations were often and great, the people really did a wonderful job. We definitely recommend this race.
