Good half marathon in Scranton, PA – Excellent post race food and decent swag giveaways. The weather held up pretty well, but the walk back to the hotel was extremely cold. I would definitely run this race again.

Never got to experience the full experience of this race yet because of covid. Ran the course without anyone on it. Course is a city run ending next to the river to help you push as fast as the flow.

Its a great local race! Here are the things that I enjoyed about the race:
*The communication: emails, instagram, fb posts, and more. They are always communicating with you!
*Parking- they give you options, they are easy, walk able and convenient
*Finishing on the track: its fun and exciting and a great way to end a race
*The crowd support- for such a small race, its amazing to see how the town gets all into it, I love it!
*Running in Scranton; i love this city and its a cool way to see it
*It’s a relatively easy course with some hills, but its an enjoyable course (for the most part)
*Lots of water stops, great volunteers
*The swag- the medals are always great and I love the fleece blankets at the end. I also like the extra swag you can purchase- this was super important to me when I was doing my first half. I have a lot of bling!
*The after party and free beer at some of the local bars! A cool way to hang out and celebrate your victory!
Some things that could be improved (and knowing this race is new, I think they will work out the kinks)
*the trail portion- it gets too crowded and congested
*the t-shirt sizing runs a little small
*the expo; its a little lack luster, but the Scranton Running company is my favorite booth
