Amy 's thoughts:

Labor pains is a 12 hour ultra that takes place on a 5 mile course. The start/finish area is at the Reading Liedenkranz. Everyon had set up tents and chairs in the grassy area, which we did as well (my husband and kids came with me). There were indoor and outdoor bathrooms, a playground, a "shower" and an amazing aid station with a man on the grill all day long. My family had a blast hanging with the other kids and spectators and also just getting to see me come through every loop. This was great for me mentally to see them. The course itself was fun. There were plenty of ups and downs, mostly rolling type however there was a fairly steep climb in the middle of the loop. There were rocks and dirts. Enough to be challenging but not too much to be impossible to rack up some good mileage for the day. Everything was SUPER well organized. All the volunteers and staff were very friendly and helpful. There was even a liquid only aid station mid loop that served beer, AHMAZING! The race was very inexpensive. In addition to the great aid and food they served (I got a fresh cheeseburger off the grill as soon as I finished) we got tech shirts, coffee mug and a personalized finisher's sweatshirt about 6 weeks after the race. Every person received a sweatshirt that indicated whatever milestone mileage they reached. I LOVED everything about this race. It was so fun, my family and I had a blast!!! I really hope we can go back again!
