Full Review:

I ran the half marathon in 2013. Prescott is an awesome little town and good vibes all around. I finished 1:54:06.

Race Tips:

For that HM there is a very hilly section about 5 miles in. Best to walk that section as you won't likely lose any time. If you try and run that section you will hurt yourself. Don't worry, on the way back you will make up so much time.
