from Behind the Bib · host Lisa Watkins
The Hometown Half – A Race I Can’t RecommendThis week, I’m breaking down my experience at the Hometown Half Marathon in Atlanta… and let’s just say, it was rough. From poor communication to safety concerns and a whole lot of confusion, this race was one of the most disorganized events I’ve ever run — and that’s saying something.I’ll walk you through what happened, how we made the best of it anyway (shoutout to Michelle for sweeping with me!), and why this one gets a hard pass from me.It’s not all bad though — we’re keeping it real, staying hopeful, and remembering why we keep showing up.PCOMING LOCAL RACES/PAID EVENTSGreenway Grand Prix 4 Mile, (June 27)Helen Keller 5 Mile & 1 Mile (June 28)Pesky Piranha Youth Triathlon (June 28)Freedom 5k and the Independence Mile, (July 4)Firecracker 5k (July 4)Greenway Grand Prix 8k, (July 18)PGB Corporate 5K Gold Star "ALOHA Run Edition (July 26)About the Race/Event: Park Run Rocket City RunnersPub RunSign up for HuntsvilleRuns.com to get all your local run updates - delivered every Sunday by the always amazing Will Nevin.
