This was my 1/2 for Georgia! Great communication from registration until day of. Everything went smooth. We drove from Florida the night before and di packet pickup. no traffic, no wait. One of the sponsors was giving out hot free nachos. You could buy shorts from the previous years for super cheap, think it was $2 a shirt. Not much in the bag, shirt, bib, protein bay, magnet and a sticker. Morning of very organized. Easy to park and walk to start which was like 200 feet, lol. I took my time as I like to stop and take pictures because I know I probably won’t go back. Was all flat, mostly pavement, cement. One section of dirt trail under 1/4 mile. No crowding or difficulty passing anywhere on the race. Water/gatorade stop almost every mile, beautiful trees, parks and beach. Everything well marked and friendly people waving and cheering us on. Nice medal at finish. Would have liked to see sponsors or some tables to walk around. Especially more then half of us were from out of the area/state. There were 2 vendors who were selling sunglasses and clothing, very pricey. The food was ok. My issue was there was a line for half marathoners and one for 5kers, which my spouse did. I have never seen this at a race before ever. I got a container to fill with fruit, chik filet, cheese stick and choc.milk. My souse got some chips an orange and a cracker. There were many family members not understanding and upset about separate lines and not getting the same. Then you could only go once., which once was minimal. I mean, if we paid for a VIP line that would be understandable. Definitely didn’t like the separation, we ended up leaving and celebrating somewhere else. I liked everything else about this race but this food issue at the end. State #8 for me so it counts!!
