This event was held at a private farm in a rural part of central Ohio. It was really well organized, but basic. The loop was exactly 1.5 miles, with one aid station at the start/finish. Snack foods and drinks were available, but little in the way of more substantial food for the first 9 hours or so that I was there. The race director said that pizza was going to be delivered, but I left early so did not eat any of it. Wash cloths with the wood splitter logo were given out as swag, and all participants were given a finisher’s award made on a 3D printer. In addition, all runners that achieved at least 50K were given a silver belt buckle. The course started out with just a few hundred yards of pavement going downhill, then a long stretch through the edge of a corn field, then it continued as single track through a shady, wooded stretch. Upon leaving the woods, we went along the other side of the corn field, then through a field along side a couple of small ponds, and then back to the start/finish. There was a good variety of running surfaces and scenery, but the small number of runners meant that it was a little difficult to find someone to run with. Overall, it was well organized, and I hope that this race continues for a long time in the future.

Fun in the sun and the rain and the mud
