I’d like to start by complimenting Negative Split for all of the work they put into making an in-person race happen. Even with all of the COVID-19 precautions and measures they had to take, this was a very well organized.

Packet pickup will very quick and easy. We got our medals at packet pickup to minimize contact. Start times were selected in advance and there was a rolling start. Show up at your selected time and start. That simple. There were several other runners but encounters were brief. I’ve never run a race where the other runners were so encouraging. That was a really nice perk being that there were no cheering spectators. The aid stations were great! Everything was laid out nicely on a table to make it easy to do a running grab.

The course was a scenic path that followed the river. There was a waterfall and a couple bridges to cross. 10/10 for scenery! From my understanding this was not the usual course for this race. The course was well marked and runners were able to get live directions on the RaceJoy app.

Well done Negative Split! I can’t wait to do this race again in 2021!
