The Charity Chase half is an amazing & hard run! I love the after race food/drinks and music:) The "bobble head" trophies this year were awesome. Even though this is the toughest half I have done I can't wait until next year! Marissa Cooper~Taylorsville NC

Esta es mi primera carrera que hago fuera de mi pais,y estoy muy ansioso por que se llegue el dia de la carrera estoy entrenando muy fuerte y espero que Dios nos ayude a todos a terminar y disfrutar de tener la posibilidad de practicar deporte y lejos de los viciosy a la vez aprovecho para visitar a mis familiares que viven en lincolnton.

Its been one week since running the fantastic Hickory Chase Half,and I still have a smile on my face. Great weather,tough but beautiful course,and one of the best after race parties ever. Cant wait to do this again in 2010. Thanks to all the staff and volunteers.

My first half marathon and it was a great experience. Thanks to all who organized this event, perfect!
