The event was superb.  Only 2 years in existence but great.  Course is hilly and challenging but a lot of fun and beautiful.  Plenty of water stations and the volunteers were great.  May not help you qualify if you are trying to get into the Boston Marathon, but if you are looking for a great race thru the gorgeous KY Horse farms it is great.   I enjoyed the country roads.  Great race and the director really cares.

Wonderful race with much appreciated build up the months leading up to it and it did not disappoint. Beautiful scenery, absolutely no traffic but be warned....it is hilly, especially the second half. I ran with a dog in a stroller and was warmly welcomed by all. The only thing I would like to see in the future is a wider starting chute or the chute roped off to allow a smoother start.

I loved this race. Beautiful scenery with friendly people. Lots of hills, but they gave it an extra challenging element. My only complaint is that the start was incredibly crowded. Would have liked to start in waves to reduce congestion.

I ran half the course as a relay team member.  This was a nice feature for those of us just beginning.  Very well-organized event.  Beautiful, beautiful place to run.  And yes, that S-curve hill was FIERCE! Yikes!  But I made it.  And, though I know I didn't earn one of those beautiful full-race medals, I WISH I HAD ONE!

I LOVED this race!  It was my first half marathon and the atmosphere was ELECTRIC!  I am born and raised in the Bluegrass and the event coordinators for the RFB helped bring the uniqueness of Kentucky into this run.  I loved the expo, my children had a great time making a poster at the art table.  It really helped them feel a part of things.  Don't change a thing next year!

This race was AWESOME!!  This is my 4th half and BY FAR the Best!!  The course was challenging but worth it, and don't count it out if you feel like you are not up for the hills.  I did zero hill training and still rocked it on adrenaline.  I typically can't run without music, but ended up turning off my ipod for most of the race and just cruised the whole way.  It's awesome.  Just do it, you will not be disappointed.  The crowd participation and volunteers were great, the aid stations could not have been better.  The bands/music that were stationed along the route were perfect.  Seriously.  A crazy marching band at mile 12ish was the perfect pick-me-up to keep me strong that last mile.  I usually don't really get into expos, but even the expo was great.  And I'm usually a one-and-done kinda girl when it comes to half marathons, but I'll be returning to this one for years to come. 

Thankfully I did one of the practice runs for the course and was thankful they offered the practice runs. I agree its one of the most beautiful corses but I think they should add one of the most hilliest half's as well! Great up to date info provided on facebook, expo was just ok. Although clif bars were offered on the course some how I never saw them! Overall a great experience and will more than likely do it again next year!

Great one......Looking forward to the next one
