    I love running in HMF events. Their races are well organized with good course support, nice courses, nice medals, and a cold beer at the finish. I would definitely recommend getting to the race at least an hour before the start, parking filled up really fast. I would also recommend picking up your shirt and bib the day before, so you’re not running to your car and back to the start, which were rather far away. The race shirts run a bit on the small side, so bear that in mind when ordering yours. The course was pretty, a lot of it was along the river. About half the course was in the shade, and the other half was in the sun. Something to bear in mind is some of the roads are open to traffic during the race, so don’t run 2+ people across, and avoid headphones so you can hear the vehicles coming.

    Last years medal was designed to look like a grill cheese sandwich. The vendors after the race were great. Only wish it wasn’t raining. I would recommend this for anyone who likes to compete. The atmosphere was amazing and fun to be around. I would recommend arriving early since parking fills up quickly.
