Apple Festival

by Alicia Adamson
I moved here in 2009 and this was my first race done in this area.  I was still acclimating to weather conditions and training here but I thought I would try my hand at this race.  It was so much fun.  Super flat course with a hometown feel.  I took 2nd in my age group with a time of 23:58.  
I went home and grab the family and came back to the festival.  It was a great way to get to know Missouri and all the festivals that get started in the fall season!
This race is definitely a must do, if you like small town races!
