    The race was virtual and there were no aid stations for me. The most unique aspect about the race was that location. The race could be improved with more communication about the virtual race and results on the website.

    The aid stations were conveniently placed. The most unique aspect of the race was the course that was mostly trails. The race could be improved with more Porto potties. The race is recommended to others to stay fit.

    This was the 36th running of The Hills Are Alive, and my fourth attempt. The course follows horse back riding trails through Rolling Hills with a lot of ups and downs. Most of the surface is dirt with some asphalt. Dusty. If you are looking for a PR do not run this race! But, if you want to test yourself against some tough hills and challenging terrain it’s well worth running.

    The race has turned into a “fun run” recently, so there is no chip timing or results. Swag included a t-shirt and medal. Good water-station support if you need it, and enthusiastic volunteers. There was a super local vibe and I bet most of the runners lived nearby. When we lined up to start, the emcee shouted, “Ready, set, go!” And that was it.

    Entry fee was $35.00 (on-line). Water and fruit at the finish line. Plenty of parking at the start area and overall a well run if intimate event.
