And thanks for hiking that hill with me! :) @Gary, thanks for making the trek to Annapolis for the race. I agree, I'd like to rally all my runner friends for next year's race and I'm sure Ron Bowman will take all feedback into account for next year's race.

However, unlike you I started my sprint just a little too early and had to throw in another short walk. I enjoyed reading your review and think it is accurate. Good luck in your future runs.

I thought it was awesome to have a decent priced race being timed. I found the course to be somewhat hilly. That last hill was brutal. Eventhough it was a PR for me. My legs felt heavy and the heat was hot. I am bringing a large group with me next year to do that race. I would like to see some splits on that race it would be nice. I did notice some runners did get lost who ran the 10K. They needed more volunteers. More Signs would have been nice as well. Overall I give that race a 4/5 stars.
