My first half marathon. Gorgeous New England woodland scenery. Not much of an expo or anything beforehand (at least, not in 2015) but fantastic Smuttynose beer afterwards. I might have had one or three while waiting for my wife to finish the marathon.

Ran the fun run with my niece and nephew. Kids' loved it and usually get a medal or some kinds of prize, tshirts some years, and popsicles. What's not to love?? The 5K follows and is a great flat course. Water stations along the way and the start/finish is the same

The course is flat and well marked to provide potential Personal Record times. Custom medals for the top three in each group are very nice. And the event supports the local activities provided by the Lions Club of North Ridgeville.
