Great place to run your first half marathon! First of all, Hilton Head is beautiful! The course itself was mostly flat. The scenery was pretty; when you were crossing the bridge, you got a view of the water. There were water stations about every two miles and some had Gatorade. There were a couple people cheering you on in some areas so that was encouraging! The celebration after the race consisted of live music, pizza, snacks and beer! We did not receive any swag as shipping was delayed but hopefully should arrive in the mail soon! Overall, pretty good place to have your first half marathon!
