Review of 2011 Run in the Country:
Preliminary results have been posted here.

The 2011 Run In the Country Half Marathon was on Sunday, July 17, 2011. The Run In the Country is the classic half marathon of the summer. It's flat, it's fast, it's walker friendly, and it's set in a beautiful rural location. The race is an ideal event for either a fun run with friends or a shot at your half marathon personal record.
