Megan Johnson's thoughts:

This is a small, but well organized half marathon in the heart of Forest County, PA. This is an out and back, road race located right along Clarion River. The scenery is gorgeous and it is early enough in the year to be nice, but not too hot. They do just basic tshirts and sunglasses as well as a few additional fun items, but it's nothing major. The organizers of the event do a good job keeping things going smoothly and it is largely run by volunteers from Clarion University Track and Field Team (which it benefits as well as the athletic scholarships there). It starts and ends at one of the canoe rental locations there and they open up the concession stand for snacks when it's over. There are plenty of port-o-potties at the beginning/end of the course which is always a plus as well. In terms of parking, it can be a bit limited down there, but there is parking about a mile away and they offer their canoe vans to shuttle participants to and from. The cost of the race is what is most appealing as it is only $25.00 for the half and $20.00 for the 5k; from there it goes up $5 after a certain deadline. Regardless, very affordable, family oriented, and supports a great cause! It's also a beautiful place to hang out after along the river, have a cookout or paddle down the river!
