Race Reviews for Half Marathons in Minnesota

Do you have a race review for a half marathon in Minnesota?  If so, feel free to submit a half marathon review for consideration!   Here are some great topics runners like to read about in your half marathon review:

Was the race website organized and informative?  Distances visible on home page, full address of location for out of state visitors, city and state visible of non-local participants, details about course, critical info easily found, etc.

Was the race well organized?  Packet pick up, expo, start time, timing, support?

Did this race have an expo, or just a small packet pickup?

Were enough volunteers recruited? How was on course support?  Enough food?  Enough water?

How was the post race party?  Good food? Music?  Enough food?  Enough refreshments & recovery food or drinks? Describe.

How was the medal? below average? average? excellent?  beyond excellent, pretty cool?
Do you have a photo to share of your bling to include?

How was the swag?  Any awesome swag?  Brand of shirt?

How was the cost of the race compared to most half marathons?  about average, a great deal, way too expensive for the swag, bling and support that was provided, well worth the cost for the swag, bling, post race party and support received?


Was this a small race, a medium sized race, or large race?

Was the course scenic?  What was the highlight of the course (or highlights of the course)?
What made the course fun (or totally boring)?
Do you have any good scenic course photos to send us?

Describe the course.  Was it flat?  Rollers the whole way?  Flat with one big monster hill?  All up?  All down?  All up then all down? etc.  Was it shaded?  Trees, dessert, mountainous, city streets, all neighborhoods, through a park, etc?

We love to hear from our half marathon runners about all the half marathon races out there that you love, like, or didn't care for, and appreciate your feedback.  We may share your review in multiple locations such as our half marathon blogs, or possibly even on Halfmarathonsearch.com.  You can ask to be published anonymously if you'd like, but we do need your information in order to publish.

Lace Up Against Breast Cancer Half Marathon in Rochester, MN Race Review



Half Marathon Race Review by official Fifty States HALF Marathon Club member Ruth Ann Walsh:


I ran the Lace up Against Breast Cancer Half in Rochester, MN last Sunday on my birthday 2-12-2012.  They are in their 5th year.  It was a small race of 184 finishers, a great scenic course on the city's bike trail system along the river, around a lake.  Cold, but I would definitely do it again.  A great MN winter half.  I think I especially loved the hot soup at the finish.  Finishers got a dog tag style medal with the standard ribbon medals going to the top three finishers in each group.  This is my first small race and I really liked it.
