Inlcuded 2 days of riding a week also (avg 25-30miles per week). One rest day.

Race Review

A small race with approx 200 runners, not much for vendors or ammenities, a much smaller production than the other races this year. Parking at Manley Field House was easy and not congested. If not for the hill workout (ouch!), not sure I would run this race again.
