I really enjoyed this race. Nice small entry (surprised there wasn’t more people) so easy parking and navigation. Scenery was nice and varied with lake, field and Forrest views. There is definitely some hills but I would call them rolling. Starts early and we’ll shades so never too hot.
The only thing I didn’t like is they must start the 5k much later than the half and so my last mile I had to navigate a lot of walkers (and strollers).
