I'm torn about recommendations for this race, I had a terrible experience but it was 40 degrees and raining the entire time. They don't close the roads so you do have to compete with traffic, some of which is heavy farm machinery as it's harvest time here in Indiana. There was a lovely deer racing through a newly harvested field that was pretty awesome. I would NOT do the full as it's just the same course twice and once is definitely plenty. Not a great swag bag, but an amazing New Balance jacket!
