If someone is looking to run a half marathon in Nebraska, THIS is the one I tell them to do! I have been a pacer for the Good Life Halfsy for two years and I can't wait to pace again this year!

The 2016 Good Life Halfsy was even better than previous years! The point-to-point course runs through Lincoln with great spectator support, but it used to have a few confusing and frustrating ending. In 2016, they were able to get rid of that ending and I know all runners were very happy about it! Plus, you can't beat having a Pink Gorilla out there on the course with you!

As far as the weather goes, you never know what you'll get in Nebraska in the fall, but the last two years have been on the warm side. Be prepared for anything!

The Halfsy has the best swag! The long sleeve tech shirts are high quality and have great designs every year, and I LOVE the colorful medals! Also, FREE RACE PHOTOS!

And the finish line festival is AMAZING! As you come down the bridge into the Haymarket area of Lincoln, the finishers' chute is lined with people and there is one big party after you finish! It is a fabulous atmosphere! Because this is a point-to-point race, there are shuttles to take you back to your car. The shuttle system worked very well for us this year!

Everything about this race is so well done and it sells out fast every year, so if you're thinking about running it, don't delay! I'd love to see you there in 2017!
