This event has a Full Marathon, Two separate Half Marathons, and a Relay.
The packet pickup was at the Vets Hall in Downtown Clovis, which was easy to get to and well organized.
Race participants received a short sleeve race shirt, and your bib. The bib had a spot on the top for you to write your own name or message in. You also receive a long sleeve technical half zip at the finish! (1/2 only. Full marathon received a jacket).
The Finish Line offers an assortment of food for the finishers. Scrambled eggs, potatoes, pancakes, coffee, hot chocolate, ice cream sundaes, fruit.
I ran the Clovis Half, the course wasn’t bad. You run on a few city streets until you hit the bike path. You run on the bike path until about the 6 mile mark then you run through a neighborhood for about ½ mile then loop back onto the bike path and head back to the finish line.
I heard The Fresno Half Marathon course is pretty challenging. People said it felt like they were running uphill the entire time.
The course support was great; plenty of aid stations, and the volunteers awesome.
The only negative thing I can think of is the half mile corridor the runners have to go through to get to the recovery area
