I figured since I had run a marathon a month ago that I wouldn’t have to specifically train for this race. Whew! This was hot, humid, hilly, and had some technical spots where it got very rocky. It was one of my worst times and even the best runners finished the half marathon close to 2 hours. It was brutal and I was miserable for much of it. Of course, as the crazy runner I am, I would consider doing it again.
There is a super sweet festival surrounding it and people could take advantage of the campground and swimming hole after the race. Due to time constraints I cannot speak much about this part but I think that if you have the time and opportunity that this part of the festivities is really fun.
Swag was a shirt that you could exchange for a hat if you chose. Since I have plenty of shirts I opted for a technical trucker by boco.
So yeah, don’t expect a PR. But if you are into races that are challenging but beautiful and well run, this is one for you.
