The 42nd annual Blueberry Stomp in Plymouth Indiana was a challenging race. The Stomp offers a kids 1 mile fun run, a 5k, and a 15k. There are only a couple 15k races in northern Indiana so this is not a common race distance for most area runners. The kids run starts at 8:30 and 5k and 15k starts at 9:00. This years race was a little warmer than usual with race time temps being around 75 degrees and humid.
The first mile and a half is straight out through town and into the country before the first turn, not much congestion to worry about dispite over 600 runners. Once out in country, starting at mile 2 and going till mile 7, the rolling hills really begin to hit. The hills are not anything huge, just constant until really the last mile and a half.
Also, the first half mile and the last half mile are along the festival parade route. So as you start and finish you are cheered on by the crowds.

Pros:
-This is a challenging course. It will test your training.
-Great race management. Started on time,
-5 or 6 aid stations, and on the last one, there are high school girls willing to throw water on you if you ask.
-while not a completely closed course, most of the race is in the country so there is very little car traffic.

Cons:
-cotton Tshirts and kind of ugly
-awards were lacking. They went 5 deep on age group awards but the awards were can koozies. Would expect that in your race bag.
