    Small race with multiple events throughout the weekend. The rolling hills started out nice but got annoying near the end. I personally struggled with acid reflux but that wasn’t the race’s fault. I was at the back of the back but the volunteers were still out and cheering and directing. 🙂 The other thing of note was the mile markers displayed miles to go, not miles ran. I still can’t decide if I liked that or not. Overall good race, would do again.

    Terrible race. Only vitamin water at the end. No swag, no expo, no finishing medal, chip timed piece handed to you and had to return. No medical on course? Course goes out in the open in middle of nowhere and has direct sun. No food at end. Medical station at end didn’t have ice or band aides.
