"It was an impressive event especially for the first year - things seemed to be so well organized.  You had a great set of volunteers who worked hard, the awards ceremony took place before many 5K's I've done, and I heard a lot of people express how nice the course and the scenery was!"

I ran the Western MD Half this morning and had a terrific time, both enjoying myself tremendously and having a PR by 5 minutes for a half marathon.  I will recommend this race highly to my running partners.
