Definitely one of the more difficult half marathons I have run. I did perform my worst time there. But at the same time, in 2013, didn't register until last minute, so it was kind of a spur of the moment event. I ran a little too hard from the start, as I was running with some people I knew from one of the local shops. I blew up when we hit the first set of hills. Granted, if you train on the terrain properly (HILLS) then you'll be fine. I'd like to go back at some point and give the race another go. I'd recommend the race for sure!
