This was my first R& R half marathon I ever did and my 2nd half .The race was fun. Scenery was fabulous. We ran thru beautiful collage campuses. NC State was really pretty.The neighborhoods were great and the entertainment was awesome. You were never border. Great water stations and gummy snacks! I knew it was going to be a hilly half but I had trained on hills and was well prepared for my challenge of the hills in North Carolina I had the best time at this race. My time was 2:12 Im looking forward to running it again in 2017 and planing on having a better time
