The race, once again, was well planned and executed. The police and volunteers did a great job at keeping the roads clear for runners. I was also amazed at how many people there were cheering us on. For a small race, it was impressive how many folks came out and offered their support.
The course itself was flat. There's a couple of tiny hills but nothing major. And the route brings runners on a picturesque tour of Hyannis, through neighborhoods and by beaches. The only thing that could make it better if if it were warm enough to jump in the water after finishing!
I used this race as my first tune-up for the Boston Marathon. I'm sure other runners did this as well. It's a great time of year to get a solid distance run in while getting used to heavy crowds (for at least a couple miles) and a narrow road. Plus, it's nice to get away from the snow and have a clear road to run on. This won't be my last time running the Hyannis Half.
