Romeo and Juliet Half Marathon Review

The Romeo and Juliet Half Marathon was my second race that I ran out of 12 in 2023. I loved the course a lot, and the well organized team behind the race made everything go smoothly. At the end of my year of running a half marathon every month in a new country, this was my third favorite race.
