trenton half marathon?

[lightbulbsun]

Is anyone running this?

I'm not sure whether I want to sign up or not. I'm a little concerned, because it's the first year they're having it and I'm not sure how organized it will be. It will also be my first half marathon, so would you suggest doing a more well-known race? Or just do this one and see how it goes?

I do like that they're having one close to where I live, so I don't have to leave super early to drive to Philly, which is why I'm considering it.

I would be doing it if we weren't moving before then.

Where are you? We must be pretty close to each other!

I'm in Lawrenceville. I was really excited when I saw a half that I wouldn't have to go for to!

Ahh! I am in Pennington, *right* outside of Lawrenceville!

There is also a HM in Princeton in November. I think it is going to be pretty hilly though.

Wow, you're really close!

I didn't know about the Princeton half. Unfortunately I have a professional exam that I have to take that weekend (lol at me for training for my first half when I also need to be studying for an exam that I need to pass in order to get promoted).

Aw, that stinks. Well this will be the first year for both of them, so hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out this year and you'll be able to do one (or both) in the future! I bet a run through Princeton would be beautiful, but I am not brave enough to do something so hilly as my first HM.
