This will be short as I learn more about writing reviews.
Overall this was a great event! The course was great even though the race started with rain, then turned into a downpour. Course was well marked and challenging at points. Mostly due to all the rain creating huge pools of water and mud. Looking back that just made the race better.
Parking wasn’t great. It’s held in a state park. Huntsville State Park to be exact. Nonetheless you’ll find parking though.
Aid stations were great! Helpful volunteers that you could tell had a passion for running themselves. They really understood the emotions you go through in 50 miles and knew how to react to make you feel better.
Swag was pretty limited, but the medal was gorgeous!! And heavy too!
I ran this event with my best friend, and she loved every minute of it. She ran it the previous year too. To make it even a better experience she PR’d this year by almost 2 hours over last year. That even with the rain and mud!
If you’re looking for a fun 50 miler I do highly recommend Rocky Raccoon 50 Miler.
