This was my first ever half marathon race. And I loved it so much I'll be back the next year for the full marathon. I love this race! Half marathon and 8k races on Saturday, with the full marathon on Sunday. I stayed Friday night downtown and went to the expo that evening. Expo was good size, had all the info I needed, and some free swag. Race shirt was a long sleeve tech shirt that I still wear today. Race day morning was pretty uneventful which is nice. The security line to get into the start area was a little long but not bad. Bag drop was pretty efficient, and the pickup was really easy.

The course was amazing. We ran through downtown past some historic places. Great fan support, like really great throughout the whole race. Course wasn't too hilly, pretty fast. All in all, I'd recommend this race to anybody.
