The biggest plus were the views of the course!!!! You couldn't get better than this half! You had stunning views of the mountains the entire time!

One big downfall for me was paying to do the 5k and half marathon for the Elk Double Challenge, but we got one shirt for both. I kind of wish we had a 5k shirt and half shirt. They did give us an Elk Double Pint glass, but for the price of two races two shirts would've been nice.

Aid stations and porta potties were every two miles which was super nice!!

There is a 700 feet elevation gain from miles 2-5, but it was gradual and not that steep.
