I ran this course in 2011 for my 30th birthday and decided to come back for my 31st too! I must say, if you're not used to the humidity to prepare your body for it. I was not and grew cold from the chills at mile 7. I quit sweating. I didn't know what was going on. This had never happened before. I definitely did not have enough electrolytes with me. Not all of the race has great views, but it is so fun. The houses are beautiful and finishing on the board walk is beautiful too! The bridge sucks (both going over and back) but that's the worst hill of the whole race so it's not horrible. The hotel we stayed in now longer exists. It's a parking lot now. That made me sad. It was a mom'n'pop motel and the owners were amazing and remembered us Texas girls from the year before. I'd definitely recommend this as a fun run over Labor Day weekend.
