Pros

Water stations every 2 ish miles
Porta potty on course
Access to locker room at start/finish
"BBQ " meal at the end

Cons

1 mile of dirt road
"rolling" hills

Run the rolling hills of Swanzy New Hampshire through several well preserved coved bridges. Total elevation about 350 feet, so a decent challenge of a course. For a good portion of the run, you're running along side of rivers and streams giving a picturesque view of the community.

The bridges

Swanzey Covered Bridges Half-Marathon Elijah's Race Review — Sorry for not taking picture while running!

Sorry for not taking my own pictures running through this course but we did run through all of these bridges plus one additional one.,At least. It was hot when we ran so I kind of spaced on some of it.

The race medal is usually in the shape of one of the bridges we run through.
