This was a must do half marathon! The course ran along the river, waterways and on paved trails and was absolutely beautiful the entire time. There were plenty of points where it was well shaded and got you out of the blazing sun. There were lots of water stations full of cheering young people and spectators cheering along the course. The course was well marked and had lots of volunteers at every major turning point. The race had a 4 hour time limit and this crew fully supported until the last person crossed the finish line. Well done!! Plus we stayed at the host hotel, which was very nice, with super low rates, and was 0.25 mile from start… we walked there fifteen minutes before the start.
