The race was small, a little over 300 half participants but well run. The course was mostly along a greenway that ran along the Roanoke River at times except for a few miles in the middle where you had to climb up and around. Not sure if that part of the greenway was closed or why but it was a climb out and back. They could have used more bathrooms at the start and maybe another water station or two. But the support from the town and local high school supporting the race were great. Food at the end looked good but I did not have any. Shirt and medal were nice but nothing super exciting. Overall a nice little race. I think they’ve had some race course changes of late which left me to believe the race used to be a little more exciting.
