A quick look at the NAIA performance list will show anyone that the Midland Lutheran College half marathon is the place to be for those wanting to qualify. Pretty impressive times (Kiplagat 65:29, etc.).

Having not been there myself, I would like to know what makes that course so attractive to all those NAIA marathoners. Is it a particularly fast course? I couldn't find information about it on MLC's website or anywhere else on the internet. I'd love to hear from anyone who has run it, and if they would recommend it as a good, fast course this year.

It is fast... It is the place to qualify. Very flat except the down hill at the begining. You always run with the wind

It's held in December so most people run it off CC training. It's held for the sole purpose of getting people qualified for nationals. Only about 50 people (male and female) run it.

The course is super fast, you always run with the wind and there are lots of good runners there to pace with. Additionally, the runners are always willing to do teamwork. If you get a chance, run in this race. Great atmosphere, great course and fun event. In fact a few of my friends and I ran unattached this year (I DNFed though).

My parent's live in Fremont (where MLC is). It's dead flat. The only hills are manmade viaducts and overpasses.

The above reasons also apply, but the fact is the entire town is as flat as a pancake.

You've got some balls admitting to having family in Fremont. But, that's the first step on the road to recovery is admitting the problem.

Good luck with rehab Malachi
