This weekend many of us will be doing the Save the Light Half Marathon out on Folly Beach, SC. Since their host website is very disjointed, I thought I would put all the important information here for the weekend.

Course MapNote that the 5K is first loop of the Half-Marathon
That course map gave me a headache. I figured out the 5K is the same course we ran for John’s race last year, so basically we run that 5K… with all the 5Kers which I won’t like bc I already have enough pacing issues! But at least it’s flat and fast…
I agree and yes that is the same 5k course we ran last April.
I PRed that race. I thought about just doing the 5K this year but I’m just not in 5K shape right now since I haven’t done much speedwork/short tempos. Plus I’m doing a few 5Ks later this month.
