Heather's review of 2018 1/2 Sauer 1/2 Kraut Marathon.   

5 / 5 Stars

Review

I LOVED this race. It is two loops, but the course is so gorgeous, you don't mind doing it twice. It was a hot day, but plenty of shade from the beautiful tree canopy. The rolling hills were totally manageable and way preferable to a pancake flat course that taxes the same muscles. I was nervous on Mount Cuckoo and the grassy section right before - I never ran cross country - but it was cool to say I did it. I actually fell the second time on Mount Cuckoo with tired legs, but by then, there was nobody around me, so zero fear of being trampled or slowing anyone down. And I fall every time I try trail running, which is almost never, so your results may vary. Course support was great, and I loved seeing the other racers coming and going. Fun snacks on the course. Normally I am a strict water & chews kind of runner, but I had an Oreo the first time I passed the cookie table (too dry - couldn't finish) and a Fudge Stripe the second (perfect!) I think they brought me luck. The party afterward was great. Just an all around fun race.
