What Runners Are Saying...

We got a ton of responses and great feedback. Overall it is clear from the ratings that everyone had an awesome experience. But don't take our word for it. Read a few of the testimonials below directly from the runners. Huge thank you to all the runners and volunteers who participated, this race would not be possible without you!

Third year running the Sugar Daddy half marathon. This race is always well run and who doesn’t love ice cream at the finish. I will be back again.

A fairly gentle course with a small turnout (compared to many others) makes this a great 5K for the casual runner, or for someone just getting started in running.

Having an ice cream truck serving up ice cream for all race finishers is fun and unique. The race directors are friendly, and work hard to make the races unforgettable. The medals are super cool, the food at the finish line is tasty, the volunteers are great, and you get FREE photos after the event, which I think is AWESOME!! Thank you for this! It makes your races truly special.

Very well organized! There was a lot of pre-race communication so I knew exactly what to expect and where to go. There was a non-dairy ice cream option which was awesome! The medal is super cute! Love the free photos!

Bigger isn't always better. This race is a smaller race compared to most but the quality cannot be surpassed. The people, the course, the swag (medals, shirts, awards, legacy perks, post-race ice cream, etc) are all top-notch!

It was long and arduous journey running through the half marathon. Bugs attacked me from all sides. Bicyclists speed past me with ease. With my knees aching and my left arm numb, I conquered the course. The ice cream was delicious and the free swag is good. Enjoy your time there. Peace out!

The course is a gorgeous Saturday morning meander through nature. Beautiful mountain views throughout this scenic course. Even as one of the walkers on the course for over 3 hours, I found the experience great. It’s a smaller race with friendly volunteers at every aid station.

The volunteers and the aid stations are top notch, words of encouragement and a pat on the back to send you on your way, the electrolyte drink was also really good/mixed well.

I have run the half each year since the inaugural run. I was able to walk in a different runner a couple of years because of an injury. This year, Chris from Toledo walked me in as my knee was giving me fits and I showed up with what seemed like 'dead" legs at about mile 3. The only reason I stayed ahead of the sweeper was Chris kept pushing me to and across the finish line. But I have a claim no else can make, I was the first and last in my age group.
