This weekend, I ran a slightly smaller race, the St. Charles 10-Miler<\/a>.\u00a0 This race was located in Waldorf, MD.\u00a0 There were only 328 finishers, which I must say is a disappointment.\u00a0 This is a great race and more people should check it out.<\/p>\n

Caveat – they bill this race as flat.\u00a0 It is not flat.\u00a0 There are some sizeable hills.\u00a0 But they aren’t lying when they call it scenic.\u00a0 It is an absolutely gorgeous course.\u00a0 And the course support is amazing.\u00a0 I have never seen so much food on a race course. There were water and Gatorade stops every two miles and at each stop, there were Powerbars or Gu.\u00a0 I only picked up a Gu (and pocketed it for a later run), but I was impressed to see that much fuel out there.<\/p>\n

The cheering squads were quite impressive.\u00a0 The volunteers were clearly excited to be out there, and it makes it a lot of fun to run.<\/p>\n

Post-race support was also great.\u00a0 Lots of snack options, and the race premiums?\u00a0 A shirt AND a really nice gym bag.\u00a0 Can’t complain there.<\/p>\n

This race is definitely slower-runner friendly.\u00a0 I ran with two wonderful friends and we treated it as a training run (as we have two half marathons in the next 3 weeks), and even stopped for a few minutes when one of the ladies got a nosebleed.\u00a0 We were near the back of the pack but still had great support.\u00a0\u00a0 There were also some walkers in the race, and I think the last group of finishers crossed the finish line around 2:50.\u00a0 That’s what I call a great race!\u00a0 A race that supports its winners as well as the people who are just out there to finish.<\/p>\n

If it works out, I will definitely be back next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
