This was the third year of this race and the second year in which I've participated in this race. It is a small, local race with only 43 half marathon participants this year. With such a small race, however, it is still well-organized, is fun to participate in, and is a great community event! If there were to be any downside to this event, it would have to be the fact that 6 of the 13.1 miles are run on the gravel levee. The gravel is larger, thick gravel which can be quite challenging for a runner who is use to running on the pavement (such as myself). Overall, however, I'd recommend this race to all local runners!

This year I improved my course time by nearly 5 minutes and came is as third overall female finisher!
