Keri Roeder's thoughts:

If you’re looking to set your pace on a flat course, this is your race. The course itself isn’t the most scenic, but it is nice to be able to run through a cute little town, and the view running over the bridge is great! The race is very well-run and well-organized, with thoughtful communication and good course identification. It’s carefully thought-out and executed, with nice swag and the chance to compete for an additional medal if you’re a top 100 finisher.

The time of year makes this race a little dicey for me. This year, the heat was just a killer. There are several parts of the course that are running on blacktop or cement with zero shade, so some miles towards the middle of the race are more challenging than others. I will say that there were too few portable toilets on the race course...I didn't see any on the half-marathon route, and a few water stations on the full-marathon route had one toilet each. Definitely could have used a few more!

To combat the scorching heat, race organizers and local families set up a TON of water and aid stations, which were life savers. I will say, the food available at the finish line was minimal and the food/beverages and at the after party had limited options available.

All in all, I probably won’t do this race again solely due to the likelihood for high temperatures on race day. But the race itself was great!
