This race had a great vibe from the organizers. The scenery was beautiful – about half along the coastline and half through neighborhoods with classic Cape Cod homes. A great area to visit too!

I love Vacation Races and looked forward to Shenandoah making a comeback this year for quite a while. The course was peaceful and scenic. The weather was perfect. I’m somebody who runs hot but I was very comfortable. I love the bring-your-own-cup water stations. It’s very rural so there are more cows and chickens than spectators but it’s a lovely way to spend a weekend morning.

My own performance notwithstanding (lol), this was a great race. I usually do larger races, but this was a very nice, well-organized smaller race put on by a local running store. The cider at the finish line (and the take-home glassware) were a nice touch. The paved trail was in good condition and the scenery was beautiful. I even appreciated going past the airport at the turnaround.

What a beautiful rural course! This was a very challenging race with the hills, heat, and humidity, but I loved it nonetheless. The volunteers were so friendly and encouraging. It was a mix of paved and packed gravel roads with some shade in spots. There are three or four covered bridges that we ran through as well. Believe the hype: it is difficult, but also well worth it.

This is one of the most popular races and for good reason. The half start line is outside of Duluth along Lake Superior. It’s very quiet and peaceful along the first portion of the race. Crowds increase once you get inside the city limits and people are very supportive and enthusiastic. Lots of water stations too. A huge race expo and tons of merch available. Book your accommodation early!

This was a flat course that went for much of the distance along the lake. There were only five aid stations but they provided mini water bottles and energy drink bottles that for me lasted for a few miles. The course was well marked and there were a good number of spectators. Lots of enthusiasm from the announcer at the start and finish was much appreciated.

Running around the Indianapolis speedway is one of the coolest things I have done in over 40 different half marathons. There were bands and cheerleaders and spectators along most of the course so I never felt unsupported. Kudos to the race organizers for putting up highly visible water station signs ahead of where the stations were so runners could prepare and move to the side (and also motivate to keep going!).

The scenery was nice and took us from downtown through some trails with nice fall foliage and around a lake. I would have appreciated a water station in the first 3 miles.

They changed the course this year to start and end at the State Capitol, which was a nice setting. The course went over the Missouri River and through city trails among the trees, as well as through some neighborhoods and downtown. There were so many water stations, which was much appreciated!

This was my one and only night race and I loved it! It was out and back twice along a paved road within the state park. On the way back you get to go past the falls, which you can hear from the path. The rolling hills made it a bit challenging but overall it was a very cool experience.

This was a fun race that went by a lot of waterways and had great scenery. The course was well-marked and there were enough aid stations. The finish line area had pizza, ice cream, and beer for runners. The medal is cute but I would appreciate having the year on it. A good amount of supporters along the course. A few unexpected and challenging hills but overall a fast course.

The course went through a variety of areas, from residential with beautiful beach homes to a park setting and around a large pond to a forest and finishing on the boardwalk next to the ocean. It was an uncharacteristically warm day and I would have appreciated one or two more water stations, but there was a lot of course support. The swag included a pint glass (thumbs up) and a cotton tshirt (thumbs down) – I would prefer a performance tank or t. The food and drink at the end was awesome.

This is a beautiful part of the country. This was one of the smaller races I have completed but it was definitely well done. I liked the option to have a tree planted in place of getting a race shirt. I have too many shirts as it is. There were some hills but they were mild and manageable.

This was a fun race along the coast that was super flat except for the last stretch that goes around the freeway entrance. I was a little surprised by this but I still got one of my fastest times in recent years. The temperature was great for running and the air stations were well-organized and plentiful.

This was my first Vacation Races half and I was very impressed with their organization and enthusiasm for the landscape where their races are. The medal is beautiful and is one of my most treasured race mementos. You can’t beat the scenery at this race.
