This was my first half marathon. I went into this race with some knowledge with how hilly the terrain was. I had no clue. I want to say that the whole 13 miles felt like it was one huge hill. It was up hill, down hill the whole time. But, my memory might be clouded. The humidity on race day was extreme and added to the difficulty with the hills.
There were aid stations set up at almost every two miles, which was great considering the heat. There was a gu station at mile 8.5, and ice cold wash clothes at mile 10. I saw at least 3 port o potties set up along the route as well. The volunteers were great and the race was very well organized.
My gps came in at 13.4 miles at the finish, the last mile felt very long! The scenery was spectacular. The race was routed around several local vineyards.
I would do this race again, but I think next year I will do the 5k.
