This was a nicely done race. I love that the race starts out in front of the host hotel. Made for an easy race to travel to and cross off Indiana since I didn’t also need a rental car (I thought). Small bib pickup – not many vendors but really all I need is my bib. Race morning was organized, and the course was pretty and well-marked. After the race they gave out a small bag, Balega socks, a rose an they had cake. They had bananas and water bottles but no other food. While the cake is nice I can’t eat it after racing and especially in hot weather. That would be my only constructive criticism. They need more post race food. Medal is really huge an nice.
I would consider doing the other location they have – Iowa I believe?
Race weekend turned into a bear due to 1600 canceled flights due to a fire in an air traffic control facility and weather. Ended up having to stay another day and then drive from IN to MD instead of flying. Not the race weekend’s fault but a bummer.
I would recommend this race.

I enjoyed this race. The expo/packet pickup was small which made for a quick in and out. Ultima mix packets were given and the option to purchase a race t-shirt. The course itself was fairly easy, no big hills or big bridges. It was mostly flat. There were just enough water stations. Each had at least one port-o-potty, which was noted in the instructions. We had a little rain, thunder and lightning but were allowed to continue. At the finishline, we got our amazing medal, a rose, cake, Belega socks and a stringy bag. SCORE!! Oh yeah, free race photos. Massages were offered. I don’t know if there was a cost.
I would highly recommend this small race.
Flat course and great medal
