The Eddy Half Marathon was such a memorable experience! The course was a moderately difficult trail that the storm the night before made even more challenging, but in the best way possible. Communication from the organizers before the event was top-notch, clear, and incredibly helpful. The location at the Chi Rho Center was beautiful and added to the charm of the day.
I didn’t join in on the events the night before, but I’m already planning to take part next year. The whole day had the feel of running a race with a bunch of friends; warm, welcoming, and full of camaraderie. Highly recommend this race to anyone looking for a scenic, well-organized, and slightly adventurous trail run!
