This is one of my FAVORITE half marathons. The course is relatively flat less one or two small hills along the course. The swag bags are filled with a multitude of 3M products and the medals this year were large and had a spinning feature. The crowd support during the toughest portions of the course are wonderful and there are many neighborhoods that set up their own aid stations in front yards. The highlight of the neighborhood stations this year had to be the free bacon. I highly recommend people try this race especially if they are looking for a race that is not too crowded and/or a easier entry into this distance.
