Lisa Perry's thoughts:

This was my third year running this half marathon and that should tell you something—-it’s an awesome low key race!

EXPO and pre-race— They send you a pretty detailed email a few days prior that explains everything you need to know about the race. The day before the race or early morning of you pick up your bib and your free shirt and that’s that- not overwhelming and easy! Don’t expect to find gels or anything else there.

RACE DAY- I have not taken the bus to the start but have parked outside of the park and walked down. There are plenty of bathrooms to use before the race starts. Since it’s a smaller race you just walk to the start and go once it’s time. In the very beginning it’s crowded but it thins out fairly quickly. This is mostly paved but there are many rolling hills and there is a section where you run through trail and need to watch where you are running. You then finish right back where you started! It’s stated a few places that this is not a race that you should run for a PR. Do it for fun as it’s not easy and it’s run in June when it can be really warm out. I’ve won in my age group and I’ve won first in the masters and they give really neat prizes! Everyone gets a medal that finishes and race photos are fairly inexpensive. All in all I plan to be a repeat runner of this race as long as my schedule allows for me to do so!
