I've run 18 half marathons and this was one of the best! I was not expecting such a scenic, fun course. The crowds, the bands and music - (OK that men's choir at the top of the hill - not sure what mile that was - they were amazing!!!) Yes it was much hillier than expected, yes my time was bad, but it was still a blast. The expo was fantastic, as was the swag. Parking was easy peasy and we were able to zip right out of downtown after the finish. This was a family event and we met from two states to run together. What a wonderful time.
