This race was a great experience, very runner and family friendly. The beginning of the race begins in the parking lot and moves quickly into the park. By the time the course reaches any pinch points or narrow paths, the pack has thinned out enough to allow for easy passing. The few "hills" on the course are gentle and are followed by fast downhills. The course even takes you through the old botanical garden that was in place before the park opened. There were two character picture locations on the course. The best part is the medal is made of Lego bricks.
