I recently ran my 14th Half-Marathon, my first with Zoom Running Events. I’m familiar with Quarry Lakes but I’ve only ever run a 5k there. Needless to say, those 13.1 miles made me work. It was a mix of park, trails, both paved and gravel, from the 84 out to the 880 and back. There were several hundred of us runners. The marathon and half-marathon started together but we spread out quickly. I traveled with my fellow slow joggers so I never felt totally alone. This was helpful near the underpasses which were slightly spooky. The Zoom volunteers were cheerful and encouraging. Each aid stop, approximately every 2.5 miles, supplied us with water, electrolyte mix, orange slices, trail mix, pretzels, chips, and salt tablets(!).
