That doesn’t seem any deterrent for the more than 2,000 runners, walkers and relay participants who take part in the annual early springtime running of the race, which includes a half marathon for runners and walkers, a 5K for runners and walkers, a 30K individual run and an 8.1-mile run.
It isn’t hard to see why, as the course takes participants on a scenic tour of Allison Park’s North Park Golf Course, along a mix of gentle, rolling hills and flat terrain, all across entirely paved surfaces throughout the race.
The event includes several races — in addition to the half-marathon, there’s a half-marathon relay, a 30K race, and a 5K run/walk, giving potential participants plenty of options for competing or taking it easy while taking in the scenery.
