MN Girls: Monster Dash half?

[sunshinejoy]

I was going to sign up for the 10-mile for Monster Dash but now I'm thinking I might just bite the bullet and do the half.  Has anyone done the 10 mile or the half?  It sounds like the 10-mile is pretty flat and I'm wondering if the half is also flat?  Thanks for any help!

I have done the half marathon, but I think they have changed the course since then. Or maybe that was the Get Lucky?!

I've run the Monster Dash a few times. One year it was point-to-point and they completely sucked with the bus shuttling back to the start/cars. It was different the next year - just looked at the course map and it looks like that is the same course I ran in 2011, I'd highly recommend it. I loved the race and the swag is worth it. Oh, and dress up!

I am doing the 1/2!

I haven't run it before. I volunteered when they had the point to point course in Minneapolis and the busses sucked. As far as I know the 1/2 course is pretty flat/downhill.

Yea, that was really bad - we waited 2 hours for a ride back to our car. I was miserable and pissed, but I was doing much better than the people balled up under swag jackets shaking!

Since they've changed it I have had no complaints - gotta love the hoodies/zip ups!
