The Earth Rock Run was a very well organized run, with plenty of swag including a recycled zip up hoodie and free pint of beer at the end of the race. However, you have to work very hard to earn that beer, as this course was the hilliest race I've ever run. I'm talking back to back to back hills with steep inclines that made this mid-ack runner have to walk a few times. The roads are quiet and peaceful but they still do not take away the fact that you have to work continuously.
