Race Report
An iconic race, I was thrilled to receive a bib and run my hometown race! One day, I hope to BQ and run it again. The crowds, energy, organization and vibe could not be beat. The course was HARD but so worth it.
Pro Tips for First-Time Racers
Bathrooms will be open on the course early on - use them! Go slow at the start - it starts downhill. Heartbreak hill is not one hill, it is 4! And it is hard, but do not be scared to take walk breaks. After that, it’s all flat and downhill from there.
