Ashley Veale's thoughts:

This was my first time running the 305 Half and it was a great experience! I signed up with BibRave as a local runner from the west coast of Florida and talked my friend Mer into running it with me, too!
I had kind of been training for this race, even running a different race at a longer distance in preparation the week before, so I felt pretty good about it.

Mer and I got up Disney race early on Saturday morning to go to packet pickup, which was a no-fuss easy type of experience. Parking, on the other hand, was not. We found a nearby parking garage with a flat of FIFTY DOLLARS, but we were already in. We had plenty of time to take our things back to the car, hit the bathrooms, and try to fuel up before the race.

The race had corrals lined up by time, so we find a nice comfy spot in the back to start in and went from there.

Everything on this race went smoothly and I had no complaints! I think it would have great it more spectators were out on the course, but other than that the scenery was beautiful!

Every aid/water stationed was well equipped and there were bathrooms at each one, which is always a plus for me! The local police department was at every major intersection, blocking traffic for us and it really felt like the whole race was very well organized and put together.

One of the huge things I took away this was that the race director and organizers know how to make runners happy! When we got the email about receiving temporary medals because of a shipping mix up I was skeptical. Though the medals were not race quality, you could definitely tell that they worked hard to make it work for runners. The Starbucks gift card was also a nice touch along with free race photos on Athlinks!

I'd definitely put this race on my list again.
