The UBHM is a fantastic way to wrap up the Louisville fall run-a-thon series. Course is really split into thirds: flat and fast start, mid-course hills, then flat and fast finish. RD is an established runner who takes course specification very seriously-and invites community members to participate in weekend training runs of course and other areas to help participants gain confidence (rather than feel intimidated by) Cherokee Park’s scenic loop hills. Lots of pre-race communication (via email and social media) and website was always up to date. While many athletes look to hit PRs (and often do), this race encourages participants of all skill levels and local running store Fleet Feet provides pacers to help everyone cross that finish. Super swag (comfy long sleeve tech tee & stellar medal). Great staff, volunteer support and the after-party with Bourbon, Bluegrass music, and Burgoo is the best! Highly recommend for a runcation or as part of fall marathon training. Date already set for 2018-never too early to start making plans!
