This was my first race with Bigfoot Running Company. The event was small and casual compared to larger half marathons—no expo, no road closures, just a simple, well-organized race.
Race morning was smooth with easy parking, fast bib pickup, and no bathroom lines. The course circled Marine Creek Lake on a paved path. Half marathoners ran two out-and-backs, covering half the lake twice.
The swag included a cotton T-shirt and a generic medal that doubled as a bottle opener. Nothing fancy, but it fit the low-key vibe. Despite the rain and mud, it was a well-run event in a peaceful setting.
This probably isn’t the best choice for a first half marathon since there’s little crowd support or race-day energy. But if you’re looking for a no-fuss way to log some miles and earn a medal, it gets the job done.
