This was my first half & loved it since it was on my bday! Felt a sense of accomplishment by finishing in under 2 hours. The main reason why I ran was for my father who has slowly lost his ability to walk. I run for those can't & looking forward to doing it again this yr. Keep up the good work!

Came all the way from Mexico City for this inaugural race!! Amazed with the excellent organization, from my 7 half marathons in 2013, this was my best time and knowing I was 5th place was just fantastic!! ...Ready to come back this year to enjoy the race, hope weather is a little bit warmer..Looking forward to being there again!!
