The race theme was a do-over for the races we couldn’t run this last year: “ For those of you who have been disappointed by cancelled or postponed races, we’ve got your back!”. It started and finished at Percy Priest Dam park and went along the Stones River Greenway. Extremely scenic especially for being next to the Nashville Airport.
It was a certified half marathon but had gun timing. At the end 2 women peered at my bib and called out my number to the person writing down the time at the finish – I loved the personalized finish.
The production seemed flawless. Packet pickup the morning of the race at a shelter with heated restrooms, well organized with knowledgeable volunteers.
The course was beautiful, woods pretty much the whole way and along the Stones River. My watch had 666 ft of elevation but nothing really steep, just inclines. There were aid stations every 3 miles, just right.
The tech shirt and medal had a very nicely designed logo. I was pleased with my performance since my calf tightened up about 1.5 miles into it, but I was able to manage it thru paying careful attention to my stride. And really, I just don’t care much about time especially at a beautiful and fun event like this, it was nice just being there. There were about 90 runners and everyone was encouraging each other as we passed on the out and back course (with 2 small different loops put in).
I would recommend this and be happy to run it again. I hope it continues since in the future the name would connect to the odd year we just went thru.
