First Light Half Marathon Race Review

Race Review by Loree Hoag, official member of Fifty States HALF Marathon Club



#32 done-First Light Mobile AL. Course was good. Pavement was rough in a few spots but overall pretty good. So many aid stations I lost count. Decent "fan" support. After party was great, ice cream!!!! BBQ Chicken, pasta salad, red beans and rice. woo hoo. Only problem was that it was hot and humid, but hard to control the weather.
