This was a great race around Creve Coeur lake in a suburb of St. Louis. The half marathon course starts at the lake and goes to the Missouri River and then down to the Katy trail and then back. It is pretty flat except going from the Katy Trail back up to the bridge to cross the Missouri River. The volunteers were great. Swag-wise, you get a Tshirt, cookies (That were amazing), free beer, a pint glass (Would be better if they would put the beer in the pint glass), and a medal.
