Describe your race day.
This was one of the best half marathon courses I've run. It was an easier, downhill course with lots of support. The aid stations were plentiful with awesome volunteers that cheered you by name and had water and electrolyte drinks always ready. The officers directing traffic were courteous and friendly. The finish line amenities were amazing - fruit, bagels, pretzels, pizza, pumpkin pie?! Finally, the announcer MADE this race. To have his level of energy at 5+ hours in really makes a difference for those people that battled for every single mile. I finished the half at 2:47 and my sister finished the full at 5:03 and he gave us both the same enthusiastic, personal welcome in. Great experience!
