Katie Lynch Half Marathon Recap

The beautiful scenery of the race

Winding through the beautiful roads of Wayland and Sudbury Massachusetts, the Katie Lynch Half Marathon is an ideal low-key race.

The course is a giant loop that is mostly on quite roads and is filled with rolling hills (plus a few flat stretches) that provides a peaceful escape from the busy city races a daily routine. The fall colors only adds to the enjoyment.

While the course is open to traffic, volunteers and police to a good job of keeping runners safe and traffic in control. Plus, there's a surprising amount of people cheering runners on throughout the race, many of whom have walked down to the end of their driveways.

It was really chilly during today's race, so when pulled BBQ chicken sandwiches were served following the race, it gave everyone something warm and delicious - one of the best post-race meals I've ever seen at a race.

This is certainly a race to do in the future, especially if you live in the area and are used to driving along much of the course, like I am.
