Fallon C's thoughts:

Coeur D’Alene is gorgeous. The lake and the park with the trails is like runner heaven- could that just be plopped down where I am, please?

The race utilized a rolling start from 5:30AM to 11:00AM. You had to register for your start time before race day. McEuen Park was the race start and finish and had plenty of parking available.

The first 3 miles headed out into city streets along the lakeside before looping back to the park. Man, there are some nice houses out there. The next 10 miles were on a paved path called the North Idaho Centennial Trail. This thing is 23 miles long! Again, can I have it please?

The course was awesome, lake views for most of it, dream houses for the other part. Plus, I decided I really like rolling starts. I never felt like I was back of the pack even though I definitely was. I was very warm though so I was questioning the sanity of everyone who started later in the day. I’ve never taken in so much water during a race before in my life. I drank 4 bottles on course. Which brings me to the aid stations. The stations were well equipped with plenty of water, Gatorade and snacks.

Swag was awesome- a great medal and a lightweight hoodie- much better than the usual tech shirt.

This was a great race and one I would love to run again.
Props to race management for a great race .
