This course is super scenic—you’ll run through beautiful, tree-covered woods and get some awesome views of the lake along the way. The route is a loop and is almost entirely paved, except for about a mile at the start and finish that’s on a gravel trail.
It’s definitely a tough course, though. There are lots of short hills and plenty of twists and turns to keep things interesting. A couple of the hills are pretty steep, but most are just rolling ups and downs. Be ready for a workout!
The race itself is pretty barebones when it comes to extras, but the staff and volunteers are fantastic—really friendly and always ready to help out.
I’d totally run this race again for the scenery and the challenge, but if you’re hoping to set a new half marathon PR, this probably isn’t the course for it.
