The race wasn’t bad. I registered late, and picked up my bib on the morning of. That went well, and a race volunteer showed me where to park that was very close to the start. The race started on time. Everyone was together, the 5k, half, and full marathoners began together. The course was nice enough, but knowing that Whitefish has lake views, I wish I had seen the lake at least once on the course. The 5k split off, but the half and full marathoners stayed together. The end of the race, starting at about mile 10, had some hills. Like one hill for each of the last three miles. I was running on a hurt leg, so I was pretty irritated by these hills and walked them. As we were coming to the finish line, I noticed that that was where the full marathoners had to turn to run the last half of their race. Right after they could see the finish line, I was thankful I was only running the half because that would have bothered me. The medal and the T-shirt were very nice. The town of Whitefish is charming, with lots of good post race eateries. I could not find the medical tent however, I would have liked some ice for my leg. But snacks and recovery drinks were available at the finish. Not my favorite race, but I didn’t dislike it.

I thought it would be prettier.
