The general consensus was that the Historic Half was hugely successful. The feeling of increased retail and restaurant business, along with good management of traffic, seems to have resulted in a great weekend of fun for many. We were one family that wondered how the various street closures were going to work, especially around the hospital. In the end, I think it worked pretty well. The race course had it's challenging sections, and it seems like there were plenty of places to watch from (the best one I saw was folks watching from the RT1 Bridge over RT3 sidewalks - wish I had thought of that).
So for all those that missed the race this year, get your running shoes on and get ready to register for next year's race. We should have the opportunity to host the Historic Half for the next few years.
Here are the dates for the next four years:
May 17, 2009
May 16, 2010
May 15, 2011
May 20, 2012
