Yesterday, Sunday the 3rd, was the Brandon HalfMarathon and 5k. Both races started from the Sports Authority at Providence and Lumsford, the half at 7am and the 5k at 8. I ran the half marathon, my 5th so far, and had a good time. The start was a little disorganized, but the course was flat and even and it was staffed with friendly folks. I do wish that the water stops fell on mile markers, but I never got too thirsty. The halfer runners seemed a good group, a couple hundred runners. My fiance ran the 5k and she said it was very well attended too. The post race stuff looked good but the line for food was too long for us, although the beer line wasn't (thankfully). Finally, while I don't love the tshirt, the packet included some neat toys, like a tire pressure and flashlight kit and other assorted goodies. Overall, a good race and we'll sign up again next year.
Did anyone else run the half or the 5K? I think our next will be the 'Say no to drugs' 10k in clearwater in a few weeks.
