I have run a lot of half marathons which were supposed to be scenic, and this one lives up to its reputation. I loved the run itself.

T-shirt/swag was pretty ordinary. Post-race food was very good (including bagels with peanut butter), and there was a post-race activity area.

The weather was cold, which was good for running, but not for before/after the race. You take a shuttle to a spot close to the start and thankfully everyone could wait indoors (why are shuttles always so early before race time). Then we walked to the start and had a short wait and freeze.

I would definitely do this one again, but will bring a disposable space blanket for the time waiting at the starting area.
