I ran the half-marathon in 2017 and the 4 mile run in 2018. I volunteered at both runs. The management team improved the aid stations to every 1.5 miles in 2018 over the previous year. Which is great since it is a challenging course for a midpack runner like myself. Lots of hills and a long stretch of uncovered sunny road. The cheer team is great on course, as they place several folks along the way to keep you motivated. Swag is good and there is an option for upgrades. More than half of course is on city streets, but they have it marked well and seemed safe. There is a portion that is on a paved bike trail. Beautiful scenery for the most part and ending/finishing on the lake is pretty.
