Gobbler Grind Half Marathon: Race Review
The Gobbler Grind Half Marathon in Overland Park, Kansas was an absolute treat. It’s a lovely little race with good course support and fairly decent swag.

I’m not sure how I would have felt had things ended differently. I might have been able to find some merit in the several miles of hilly switchbacks through Cleveland Park. I might have been able to look past the cruddy run up the giant hill that is Pete Hollis Blvd. But the fact is, I crossed the finish line only to be told they’d run out of medals.
On Saturday, October 20th, 2018, my friend Paul and I “took a crack at” the Baltimore Running Festival Half Marathon. Get it? The medal is a crab, and we took a crack at it. Har har. (I can’t take credit for that one, it says that on the medal… but a punny medal makes me extra happy).
It’s been two weeks since I ran the Hotlanta Half Marathon, and I guess I’m sufficiently recovered to write about it. What possessed me to sign up for a half marathon in Atlanta in JUNE… I’ll never know. But it was sort of worth it. Sort of.
