This is not a one day race. It is a two day event with a half marathon on Saturday and a marathon on Sunday. And I recommend you do both days to fully get the experience! It is a looped trail, mostly run on crushed granite. Unless it rains then it's part mud but it's a trail run so that is ok. Finish line food is great, medals are even better. Do both days and go home with not just two medals but THREE!!

This is a big city race, run on big city streets but don't let that stop you. This race also has lots of small city southern charm. As you run thru neighborhoods people come out of there houses to cheer you on, not only that but many offer so sort of aid for runners, whether it be fresh fruit or even just kleenex it nice to have. Don't forget to do the 5k the day before so you end the weekend with 3 medals.
