All the staff/volunteers were great, just heavily disappointed in the course.I was hoping to set a PR on this race, which should have been super easy. The race was described as having “gently rolling hills.” I grew up in a hilly area of Kentucky and expected this to be no problem, however the course was nothing but giant hills with little downhill recovery afterwards. The roads were also in boarder line poor shape. The course map showed water every mile, but it was really closer to every 2 miles. There just really wasn’t a whole lot of course support. The swag was amazing. Giant medal, nice shirt, and a wine sample in a commemorative wine glass. Parking was conveniently located but it was in a grassy area that was quite wet and muddy from the night before. I might consider the 5K in a future year, but wouldn’t go out of my way for it, and definitely wouldn’t do the half again.
