I did run with a pacer, who was exceptional. I expected hills but it was run along the river bottoms so the only hills was going up across the bridges. Good production. Water stops were caught of guard & needed more volunteers. Race t-shirt was 100% poly, not my type.

It must be a Memphis thang, which is too bad. Water stations yes, but lots of waste due to plastic cups. I ran a good race but if I can avoid it, I pass on this one in the future. But post race snacks were good. There, something positive.

whish isn’d bad if you are expecting it. Strong headwind caused problems for some. Under new management, the race suffers from lack of attention to details. Poor portapotties placement and number throughout course. Aid stations were not well staffed. Swag was poor, but I’m not into that anymore. But still, was able to knock out half #84.

Very efficient race and production. I’ve run this for several years & am very familiar with it. Germantown is hillier than one would think. Slight course changes this year. Plus great weather for a change too. Long sleeve hoodie-like shirt, not my thing, so I gave away. Plus medals didn’t come it on time. No big deal. My bling ends up in a box in the attic anyway.

The good: Great weather after years of sucky cold/rain/ice; my son race a blistering half and earned a AG award of a hilly course; fun neighborhood with fireball shots and mimosas. The bad: the roads are a mess (always have been!), saw two runners face plant. MS is a poor state & it shows. Water stations undermanned. Race org is mixed. The RD came in before the race and hollered at us about a car parked that needed to be moved. Why not just tow it and be done it? Kinda silly he did that. It used to be a top race, now just a race to check off. I guess that why they call it the Blues. (see what I did there?)

This was my third time running this race, but first as a pacer. Nice flat and fast course. Great weather as it can be cold and windy in Feb in Greenville. Small race yet well organized.

Well organized and small race. Liked that it started on a NASCAR track for the first mile. Kinda fun. How many times do you get to do that. Course is flat and in some places pretty. Need more portapotties on the course. Had to stop in a coffee house but the owner was nice. Great bling and loved the Monster theme stocking hat too.

Great weather for the race so spectators came out too. It’s a very hilly race. But I pace the 2:30 Half so it was enjoyable. Bling nice. But the roads have always been a mess with potholes and gravel in places. Jackson can’t seem to shake that reputation. But I’ll be back to pace next year on Feb. 29. New date. so maybe even better weather.

It’s part of the Memphis Road Race series which is an excellent series throughout the summer. The halves are the last two in the series. It’s run along a hiway just a tad north of Memphis. Ugly, but it’s a race just get done and count it. Cold, rainy conditions didn’t help. But it was #50 of my journey to 100 half marathons.

It is a a humid, hot day so that didn’t help. Very little to no shade either. They tied it into a big festival at the end but with no shade and beat up from running I fled. Course not bad, same typical downtown Memphis.

is the best way to describe the race. Smaller ’cause of the heavy downpour of rain. I’ve run the course in different races: hilly but very forgiving at the end. The payoff is a flat, quick course in the 2nd half. Bling is an interesting riverboat with a moving wheel. Good organization too.

just the way I dig my races. The wx was unusually cold for the AJM. It’s a small race & can use more volunteers at check-in. Course monitors nearly froze & were in their cars at some turns. But course support was good. Very hilly and the wind added to the challenge. It was a confidence builder for sure.

where I ran a a race that was formally known as Whispering Woods. Kinda humid and course was hilly is places. But I dig hills. Good organization & volunteers. Small race which I like. Not many peeps on course as in went thru neighborhoods. Good course support. And a very nice t-shirt and medal.

I’m so familiar with this course I could probably run it with my eyes close. It is a rolling hills course & it’ll bite you late if you don’t plan out your run. Depending on the wx, the crowds are good, but if it’s chilly, very few. Organizers are top notch too. Nice swag. Good for a PR.

It’s a 2 mile, looping course. Didn’t know what to think, but I liked it. Easy, road course thru pretty forest. Well stocked aid stations on either end of course. Seeing runners thru out is a plus. Nice medal & stocking cap. Could have run harder but have a pace assignment next week. Will repeat.

Repeat pacing assignment. (5th time) Hilly course. But the downhills gives a change to recover & stay on pace. Chilly weather but great running weather. Ok crowd support. Nice aid stations. After party wouldn’t allow us halfers chocolate milk. It was for full. Really? But will pace again next year.

Don’t trail run much & I know why. Tough course, ‘specially on a freezing day and right after the holidays. I entered to keep my running honest. But it’s a small production & organizers tell you that. No frills, just get out & run. The aid station is awesome, PB&J, cookies, fuel for trail runners. I will run more trials cause I have a score to settle with this one next year!

not a fan of this race. Yeah, I know it’s for a great cause but it’s gotten too big and I fear the organizers have forgotten the runners. Too many races at once. Half runners ran into the back end of the 5K walkers. Finish line is crowded & confusing. Good crowds though. I’ve run it before, but may take a break from it this coming year. They used to have a relay which was fun, but eliminated it. Too bad.

This was my 2nd of a BtoB so I took my time and glad I did. What a fun race! Enjoyed the crowds and kept stopping along the course to chat & drink. Great chilly wx with sunshine. Nice after party too if that’s how u roll. Nice fleece pull over too. Flat fast course too.

It’s a small race, with a small hometown feel. The wx was chilly & rainy & since I was running another half the following day I took it easy. Ran a comfortable pace & stopped and talked with the locals. I’m sure it’s pretty when the sun is out. The fall colors were late too. Good course support, but you do run on a very busy state hiway for a good part of the race.

combined with driving, freezing rain & wind that could tip over cows, well, it is a character builder! I tossed out any race plan & pulled up my big boy shorts & ran. Tucked in behind runners to survive. Very hilly course. Small race production. Didn’t realize IOWA, of all places could be so hilly.

I’ve run several races in my hometown but this one was special. KC is really hilly, most out-of-town runners don’t know that. But I enjoyed the course, and the crowds were awesome. I race with a great pace group too & sped off at 10 miles. Ran race in 2013.

Ran up Pikes Peak with my dad and mom in 1986. My dad took off and left me and my mom. My mom later fell back. I reached the top and was freezing and snowing. Waited for my mom then traveled by shuttle back to the bottom.
