This is the 2nd year for this race and the two years differed greatly. 2018’s race was in June when it was very hot and humid. The route was an out-and-back and on paved roads and concrete and I had my worst time ever for a half. 2019’s race course was changed at the last minute due to impending storms … that didn’t show – but the safety measures were appreciated! To keep the half-marathon runners safe in case a storm did pop up, the route was a short out and back for 1.1 mile, then three loops of the 4 mile course … which made for some tedious hills and a bit of monotony. Swag included a medal and dri-fit shirt, plus food and beverages at the finish and a free massage (I wish I had stood in line for that!). It might be because the course had changed within 12 hours of the start, but it would have been nice to have had mile markers. The race proceeds benefited Women 4 Women – a local nonprofit. Also, for a race that was for women only, I saw two men with bibs (one running the half, one running the 4 mile) and I’m not sure how I felt about that. I didn’t see that they were running with anyone so if they were doing it for support, they could have volunteered at a water stop or at the finish line. Other than that, I’m looking forward to next year’s run and hope that we can get a good weather day!
