"Ran this in 2013 and 2014. Last year, I followed it with the NYCM the following week.

Fairly standard NYRR race -- typical packet pick-up/ race start/ corral set-up/ run through Central Park.

The difference is the vibe. Given the ""kick-off"" to marathon week, all of the runners are pretty excited.

I actually did the Aloha Readiness Series races a few different years. These are very basic and done very cheaply ("bring your own toilet paper" cheap and yes, there is a story to go with that!) But their intention is to help you train for a longer race and

Beautiful race course along Lake Superior ( 1/2 marathon 13.1 Race) . Absolutely Wonderful!
Always organized, a fun event for the whole Family.

Duluth and the Big Sponsors of the Race do an Outstanding job in hosted this running event.

Thank you! Lisa (Minnesota)
