1st in age (60) 21st woman and 63 overall. This was my first time running this half marathon and all the communication preceding the race was detailed and timely. I raced as a fundraising team and as a fundraiser. The minimum for free entry was $300 – that is good to know or you would be charged the $65 fee. The fundraising option is such a great way to support the community and the Cancer Connection it really made a difference to me. As a 16 year cancer survivor this race now is my way to celebrate another special year of being fit! Loved seeing all my local running friends and the 2 options of the 9 mile and half was great to get everyone out there and some fun cheering at the DOWNHILL finish! The course was hilly in the beginning but quickly the downhills came! What goes up must go down! Happy with my result. Beer ticket was a bonus and the food was healthy and ready at the finish. Thank you for putting on such a great race for the community!
Mostly flat course with some hills
This was my second ever half marathon. Race temp was good and the course was scenic. Some rolling hills towards the beginning but also some long flat stretches by farmland. MORE
