"I have run many marathons and half marathons, and Hickory rates at the top. The course is scenic, but a challenge, which is well worth the effort. The volunteers are exceptional, and the support leaves nothing to be desired. The after run party at the Hickory Crawdads ballpark is truly fantastic, the perfect way to celebrate. I travel a lot and find myself telling people all over the place about Hickory. Charity Chase Half Marathon in Hickory is one that should not be missed."
