Ann Freund 's thoughts:

This race has my heart ! It's my home town race and I've been a part of it for many years, as a racer and/ or a spectator.
Many aspects of the race are similar from year to year which is nice because it makes it easy for repeat runners . Firday Night my family took part in the Kids Fun Run. There was a 1/2 mile and mile run that started and ended right where the bigger races start and end. Also, the 5k is held that night . All 3 were great events, and well attended, despite how cold it was. At the conclusion of the fun run, all kids received a really cool medal, a water bottle and they also had water, granola/protein bars, apple slices and root beer floats for the kids ! TOTALLY AWESOME !
Weather conditions were cool Saturday morning, They had the building next to the start open to house runners until just minutes before, large bathrooms and it was warm.
The full marathon began at 7:00 and the Half and 10k started at 8:00. The 10k running the same beginning miles as the half.
The race course was well marked and for how cold it was, pockets of crowds were great ! Aid stations and water stops were also well manned.
I ran the winning time for the females and got to break the tape at the end (1:29:39).

Overall, this is a great small town race, supported by tons of local businesses. A Great Fall event !
