Overall Rating: Average course with excellent production and potential for fast times.
Course Difficulty: Long slow ups and downs (think 15 miles at 1%) on a crushed limestone surface. Really easy course.
Course Scenery: Good southern Illinois scenery, 100% rural running.
Race Production: Outstanding! These folks always do a fantastic job and you can have about anything you want at aid stations.
Race Swag: High quality custom medal and nice thin cotton hoodie.
My Performance: It was an average run, not great – not terrible.
Final notes: I’ve run a couple of 50 milers here, and I certainly never enjoy the weather at this race, however if it were a few weeks or a month earlier, it may be one of my favorite runs. I participated this year as a way to log some miles toward my 1000 mile goal, and so I was pleasantly surprised with my time. Always good production with this group!
