I came into this race this fall with one goal. Run a Boston Qualifying time. Spoiler alert: I did, by more than 7 minutes! (more than 4 minutes to get into the race!)

Everything about this race was amazing and well organized. I was not sure how I would feel about running a looped course (especially one that involved 8 loops!) and it turns out, it was awesome. The course volunteers at both the elite bottle station and the water/gatorade stop on the other side of the loop were very friendly and helpful. In addition, race management treats EVERYONE like an elite, which made the whole experience even better.
