This race is good if you want a nice challenge of hills and a nature run. The organization of the race was not very good. They changed the course this year from the previous year. The year before they said a train went through the route which stopped everybody. This year they had the end of the race over a mile from where the race started. There was no race course map, so I was unsure of what to expect, but it wasn’t bad in the end. There were no mile markers so I was surprised when the finish came. The end had bagels and water, which were both amazing!
