This is the 2nd year for this race & the 2nd year that I've run it. Any race that ends at a brewery is all right in my book! The route is predominantly gravel with lots & lots of hills! There were 4 "Hydration Stops" with water & Gatorade...Plus Cliff Shots at the last 2 stops. Unique finisher's medal that doubles as a bottle opener. I like the t-shirt other than the fact that it is cotton & not "performance!"
