The double loop course (1 loop for half marathoners, 2 loops for full) takes twist and turns that pass barracks, offices, and trees. Many, many trees. On-course hydration support is consistently good from year to year, although spectators are non-existent. The full marathoners receive a custom finisher’s medallion which had a design improvement this year, and every participant receives a cotton long-sleeved t-shirt. Over my years running this race, I’ve placed in my age division 3 of the 4 years, this year having a foot race with a competitor over the last two miles to compete for the 2nd and 3rd place slots. I came in 3rd, and received a nice plaque to add to my collection.
