The day before the race it had snowed so it was a very rough course as it’s on paved trail but was treading through several inches of snow the whole time. The course wasn’t anything spectacular and wasn’t a huge field but was out and back so you saw enough people. They did have pizza at the end in a heated building which was amazing after freezing for several hours.
This is one tough cookie!

Be prepared for anything. It was -5 degrees, 5.5” of snow and windy the day I ran this half marathon. The trail was not plowed, and there was no traction or footing. The race directors were all nice, this was laid back and fun. The one discrepancy I found, is that on their website they stated that the top 5 males and females would be awarded with placing medals(no age groups). Which is fine, but when I was the 5th overall woman (and worked hard to pass 6 women on the back half of the race into blowing snow and wind), I was quite upset when only the FIRST place finishers for each gender were awarded. I was really looking forward to placing in a half marathon, but they did not follow through on their awards ceremony.
