Crowell Hilaka Trail Run Review

Nice price for a great trail race through beautiful Richfield Heritage Preserve!
Good communication, easy directions, organized packet pick up, and ample free parking near the start / finish.
Back to the basics gun start and RD checking bibs at the finish.
Small race - All 3 distances started together for a 6 mile loop and a short out and back to finish.
Course was REALLY confusing. Pretty sure every single person got lost at least once. 3x for me! Typically this could be super stressful for competitive runners but it turned into a joke with runners criss crossing each other or missing entire sections! RD and runners added distance at their discretion to meet their goals.
One water station on course and snacks / hydration at the start / finish.
Terrain was fairly technical with tons of roots and rocks, some grass, a lot of gravel, and some elevation. There were a couple of water crossings but super dry this year.
Nice shirt / finishers medal
Awards for overall male / female only were pumpkins! 
RD said that she had planned on this being the last year but had such positive feedback, might do it again. I would definitely do it again!
