It was the second most beautiful course I’ve ever run, the first being the Yorkshireman in the UK, so hard to compete with. Packet pickup was seamless, the volunteers were kind, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. The course was well marked, and the perfect kind of challenge. There were plenty of porta-potties. The TShirts are cute, and the blanket is a great piece of swag. Well done! I can’t wait to run it (hiking those hills) again.

There are some races we run to GET a great time, and there are other races we run to HAVE a great time – I’d probably be faster if I didn’t keep stopping to take photos.
Personally, I prefer beautiful vistas, friendly runners and local folks along the way, autumn leaves, fences lined with horses and sheep with whom we’re interacting.
