This race was very HOT. Granted you can't control the weather, but the flat roads and lack of shade made things interesting out there. The roads overall were nice and well maintained. Organization was adequate. Water was really warm, wetsuits almost weren't allowed. Overall decent race,

"The course is great, though the last 2 miles have a lot of concrete which is hard to run on especially after running for 11 miles before. A couple more aid stations would be better, definitely were not enough especially second half which is hotter and some uphill.
No medals

All the distances of this race are worth running. The trails at Independence Oaks are challenging and the Back Roads are rolling hills. The scenery is gorgeous at this time of year, and the after party is great, with music, the famous Union Mac n cheese (the Clarkston Union was featured
