I will preface this review by saying I am not the biggest fan of trail running, but have given enough races a shot to see if I change my mind. This race only solidified that yes, I do not enjoy them. As this race puts on several different distances, it did not start until 10 AM for the half marathon which was rather late in the day, and just not ideal for myself. There was only two aid stations and the course is technical enough. My biggest frustration is that there was no indication on how far you were in and instead of it being 13.1 miles it was closer to 15. I will say that the finish line food and beer was fantastic, really great to have a full meal and enjoy conversing with other runners after the event.
