I completed this 1/2 marathon for the first time this year. It exceeded my expectations! It is a hilly course that runs through some beautiful neighborhoods and ends in the Neyland Stadium. If you train on some hills you will be fine. Just be prepared mentally for a hill late in the race before the finish!

The race is very well organized and the community support was superb! I was so impressed by how much the locals come out and cheer! They are so welcoming and happy to cheer you on! Many locals had their own unofficial aid stations giving out drinks and treats.

The post race food was good. My favorites were pizza and iced coffees! :)

While you are in the area visit the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!
