Nathan Hileman's thoughts:

This was my second Goodyear Half Marathon in Akron (2015 was first). Expo was tiny, but extremely well organized. Starting line was on the Goodyear Proving Grounds test track, which is very cool. Pacers were available for more finish times than I've ever seen at any other race - very cool. Course wrapped around through Goodyear's vast campus, residential neighborhoods, and town. As usual for Akron, water stations were frequent, volunteers were friendly and helpful, the police blocking intersections for us were pleasant. Course has some hills, but what goes up must come down. Plenty of port-a-potties, lots of things to eat and drink at the finish line, and excellent, large finisher medals. A special note for all the residents who cheered us on from their porches, lawn chairs, standing on the curb, etc. Their encouragement and enthusiasm really were the icing on the cake.
