Lori Jacobs's thoughts:

Bourbon & Bling ya'll!

This was my first time doing UBHM and I was not disappointed! I liked it alot!

This was an easy race and by easy I mean the logistics not the course! If I get a migraine just trying to register for a race, aquiring info for a race, or locating parking for a race it's a one and done for me! So not the case with UBHM! Very easy and smooth process! Racing should be fun afterall!

The course was beautiful and challenging as we made our way through downtown Louisville and Cherokee Park. So many great people lined our paths cheering us on and speaking motivation as we pushed through! A special thank you to all the Louisville Police Officers who not only provided for our safety but cheered us on as well!

At the finish line we received a personal shout out from the announcer and handed one of the most awesome finisher medals I have seen! UBHM provided a variety of refreshments at the finish line as well! Always love me some chocolate milk and bagels after a half marathon! Gotta refuel right?

The after party at Fourth Street Live was lit! Yes I said lit! The band was outstanding! Everyone was having a great time! We did have a little trouble figuring out where to cash in on all our food swag but nothing major! We found the bourbon easy and that was most important!

I would definitely recommend this race and the experience!
