One of my all time favorite half marathons. The course is difficult on the uphills but you feel like you are flying on the down hills. Hot Springs is such a neat town to explore while you are there! By far my favorite finisher medal- it lights up and spins. I highly recommend this one!

I expected this half to be my worst time ever since it is Summit to Summit but my time was where I had been running lately. First mountain was tougher than the last one and the last couple of miles are downhill.
Gorgeous views with fall colors
About mile 9 I was by myself and this deer walked out in front of me and just stood there looking at me, it was pretty awesome
Staff and volunteers were great
Packet pickup was super easy at expo
Swag was awesome medal had 3 spinners & lights up and I got a half zip pullover
Post race party had pizza, soup, chili, and donuts
I highly recommend this race and plan to run again in the future

I have had this race on my list but I was skittish on pulling the trigger until I saw it was part of the Natural State Running Series. Something about running up a mountain had me scared to death.
They have a small expo when you pick up your race packet at the convention center. As far as race swag, if you signed up for the half you got a tech pullover which was nice quality.
On race day the weather started out chilly but it did warm up as time passed. The half marathon takes you through some of the visitor spots that most want to see when you come to Hot Springs. The entire course is paved roads. There was a lot of walking up the mountains and running down. The police department did an excellent job of allowing runners to pass through busy sections. Plenty of aide stations for this one. You had to bring your own nutrition though. The medal was pretty cool as it did light up. Would I do the summit to summit again-may be. I would likely sign up for the 10k next go round. It only has one summit!
