Runners World Half Marathon

[lauren]

Is anyone doing this? It's being referred to as "the Woodstock of the running world" or something like that.

I'm considering it, it looks really fun! Plus I have a friend who lives in Bethlehem who I haven't seen in awhile, so it be an opportunity to visit her too.

I'm debating between it and the Hershey Half Marathon, I think they're the same weekend.

I'm doing the 10K with one of my co-workers...I'm not sure i'm ready for a half yet.

I did Hershey last year. It was really fun, weather was great. The course was SUPER hilly (more so than I expected) in a "you're either going up hill or down hill the entire time" kind of way. But it was a good race over all.
Not sure if that helps or makes your decision tougher.

Thanks for the info!

My half PR is actually on a super hilly course, so the hills don't really deter me. (my neighborhood is pretty much all hills so I run them all the time). Hershey is closer to home, so that is a plus. We'll see. I've wanted to do it every year since it started, but we were always either away or I had something else going on.

I think I'm doing the Olney 10 miler in November. I'm assuming they are not the same, though.

yeah i don't think they are....but i am pretty sure the south mountain one is in NOV as well, either that or oct...i forget.

we are trying to decide if we want to do the 10 miler since 2 miles of it is up the mountain...
