This was an absolutely fantastic race to run. I ran this race with my sister (it was her first half marathon) and my dad (it was supposedly his last half marathon). My mom came to cheer us on and was thoroughly entertained throughout the race. We stayed at a local hotel so the start line, finish line, expo, and post-race party were all accessible by walking. The course itself was absolutely beautiful - maybe a little hillier than I expected but the views throughout the park were worth it. This race really lights up the town. Afterward, we went around the all the local joints to collect our pins and sample various bourbons. This made the race so much fun for all of us, including my mom who was just there as a spectator. The post-race party is also probably the best one I've ever encountered.
