I have run this twice, and plan to run it every year.

Swag: Cotton shirts with the race logo and year, Pint glass with race logo and year, filling of said pint glass with Cider or Hard Cider.

Course: one word - HILLS. Given how early in the spring this race is and how hilly it is, it is a brutal course. I love it though. If you enjoy a challenging course, this is for you.

Management: While not the fault of the directors, there was an issue where some runners missed a turn. This led to a few issues, as I did not medal I am not sure how they were resolved. Otherwise the race seems to be managed quite well.

Other: There seemed to be a lot of down time both before and after the race/before awards...it was nice to chat and catch up with other local runners after the winter, but we would have rather been running.

I highly recommend this race and I will certainly run it again and again.
