This is a hard race to review because the race itself is great, but the heat and the hills are brutal! So, do I recommend it or not? Well, I’ve decided to list the facts and let you decide! The course is the type I prefer, that takes you on a true tour of Nashville! The people come out and treat the race like a party! They play music, some wore costumes, they offered us food, candy and shots of Tennessee whiskey! It was so hot that people sprayed us with their water hoses and offered us ice, paper towels and popsicles, too! The race provided cold iced wash cloths and iced sponges along the course, and even had a few air-conditioned busses on course to take a break! So, I feel it was a great race, and a struggle, all at the same time! And, RnR swag is usually pretty great, which is why I do so many of their races! We also, had a great time in Nashville! That city is so much fun!
