This was my first time running this race, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Once you get through the hills in the first 3 miles this course gets fast. Since this is predominantly a female race, the male participants are all supposed to start in corral F.
The crowd support along the course was great. Aid stations were abundant and well located too. Overall great race.

This was an absolutely amazing experience. The expo was smaller than usual but that had everything to do with navigating through the pandemic. The medal and race swag are awesome. The support along the course was incredible. If you’re looking for a mid-west marathon to run you should definitely run this one. The Flying Pig is definitely a bucket list experience.

This was the 2nd Half Marathon that I've ever ran. It's a great race. I have every intention to run it again in 2020.

Scott, the race director, and his team do a fantastic job. Everything about this race is very well organized.

The long sleeve tech shirt and medal are awesome.

The money raised from this race supports the local Honor Flight chapter.

Fantastic race to support a great cause. I’d highly recommend you look up the Stephen Siller Foundation.
The race in Crescent Springs, KY has been one of the more enjoyable 5K events I’ve participated in. The course provides a challenge with its rolling hills. The pre race ceremony is very moving.

This was my first half marathon. It's a nice, flat, semi-shaded course along the paved bike path.

Aide stations along the way were well supplied with water and Gatorade. They even had a station with energy gels.

Post race supply of granola bars, fruit and water was nice.

If you've never run a half marathon, this is a decent one to "get your feet wet".
