Ran for the first time in 2017. This race really caters to the half marathoner. The back half seems to be thrown in. The first half ran on various surfaces: cement, dirt, pavement and cobblestone. There is a contrast from the first half and last half in terms of spectators, runner support and surface. A small town race offered many amenities but bundled quality 1/4 zip with all of the races run Finish line was disappointing--the medal was neat (part of a three year series) but I ws left on my own to find the food and drinks. 3 stars.
