Really enjoyed this race! Expo was small (which I prefer). Race morning logistics easy. Lots of port-a-potties at start and along the course as well. First 8 miles or so is with half marathon runners so beginning is a little congested but not too bad. Crowd support was incredible the entire race. I was really impressed. The community really turns out for this one! Road closures were well executed (I really don’t like running alongside moving traffic). Aid stations had water and UCAN. Course had mild hills throughout – nothing bad, just enough to keep it interesting. The finish line was epic – really enjoyed running under the arch! Race medal is classy and hefty. Post-race party was festive. If I lived closer, would 100% run again. Highly recommend!

Rather disappointed with this race. To begin, ran past the port-a-potties and then through decrepant side streets before getting to the main part of the course. The first half of the course was mostly through beautiful neighborhoods. It was quite hilly. Marathoners break off from the half right around mile 13, so you hear the celebratory finish line as you are heading into the second half of your race, which can be demoralizing. Second half of the race is a flat out and back along a paved trail. Very little crowd support. Rather boring. Around mile 21 or so you veer off the trail into a random neighborhood for a half mile loop and then back on the trail. I finished in about 4.5 hours and the finish line was already breaking down. A friend finished at 6 hours and I had to open boxes to get her post-race snacks (no volunteers were around). Rather disappointing. Would not run again.
