Cheesehead Half Marathon
Hilbert, Wisconsin
Saturday, August 20, 2016
On Saturday, August 20, 2016 I race walked the
Cheesehead Half Marathon in Hilbert, Wisconsin.
There was a light and or drizzle for most of the race with the
temperature remaining around 65 degree and almost no wind. The course utilized 10 miles of paved rural
roads that were completely close to traffic and 3 miles of a former railroad
that was packed sand and fine gravel that provided good footing. Firemen controlled the few intersections and
few turns along the course. The seven water/Gatorade
stations were located approximately every 1.75 miles and had plenty of
enthusiastic, friendly, efficient, volunteers braving the rain and taking care
of the needs of the participants. There
were about 375 finishers in the half marathon.
There was also a 5K and a two person half marathon relay as part of the
event. The race was very well organized,
featured an outstanding post-race meal, and was fun to do despite the rain.
