Marathon #78 (finished 50 states sub-4:30; repeat state #8): Freedoms Run Marathon, Harpers Ferry, WV

4:09 finish, 96/314 place overall. Scenic historic course running through Harper's Ferry, crossing into MD and along C & O Canal Trail, through Antietam Battlefield, then finishing back in WV. Muddy trail in first half and steep hills in later miles made for a tougher than expected race.
