I've done this race three or four times and I would totally do it again! I love this race. Although it does hold a special place in my heart because it was my first half marathon, it is also a great race in general. The course is super challenging with 4 huge climbs all on road, but the beer at New Belgium waiting for you at the finish line (when I did it, it was all you can drink) is worth it and keeps you going! In years past, the swag has been great, cool medal or clear plaque with the elevation profile, a pint glass, and shirt are worth it!
