I decided Friday to run this 1/2 marathon. It is held on some rural roads in south Johnson County and Miami County. The course is an out and back along some rolling roads. It starts at the Mother of the Holy Rosary church and school at 227th and Metcalf and makes its way north into Johnson County. The course is well marked and there were plenty of waterstops and many great volunteers who stood out in a steady rain for hours. The fun started once I finished....food...lots of food....sandwiches, pizza, chocolate milk, juice, and tons of other stuff I didn't even get to look at. They also held a kid's run and 5K, and the whole thing was geared around the kids. If you have young kids, put this one on your list for next year.....
