The race starts off at a high school where you can warm up as when I ran there was still snow on the ground. Did not stop me from wearing shorts and a singlet to warm up as the sun was out. There is about 300-400 runners as it is a small little half marathon in Raynham MA. You will want to train in a little bit of an hilly elevation as it can be hard in the beginning but especially at the end there is a hidden hill around mile 11 to really try to wind you. There is plenty of water stops along the course roughly every 1.5-2 miles with Gatorade and Water. Crowd support is really good as it is a huge running club along with volunteers and high schoolers.

Get adjusted to the cold and realize the first mile or so will be a little cold! Fun swag for AG winners . Plenty of food to go around as the awards are being handed out in the cafeteria where they are giving out meals.

Recommend a good race to get adjusted in the cold and also a challenging experience through rolling hills.
