This was my first 1/2 marathon. I originally chose it because the location was close. I was very impressed with the ongoing communication from BDR on Facebook leading up to the event. They left no stone unturned. The venue and course were all well marked and there were plenty of water stations and places for people to cheer us on. I am so glad BDR helped make my first 1/2 experience a positive one and I will absolutely do it next year. Oh, and the bling and shirts were top notch. Well done!
