It was my first time running the Cherry Creek Sneak and while it used to be bigger in the past, the atmosphere is still fun. Parking for the 10 Miler was a breeze given that all the meters in CC are turned off on Sundays. Registering on race day was very quick and painless. The 10 Miler had fewer than 1000 participants to starting and getting into race pace was easy. The course takes you around the Cherry Creek Mall and into the local neighborhood. The 10 Miler runs around Cheesman Park which was a nice visual change – it also injected some uphill into the course. You’re running right into the sun on two occasions – once for about a mile on 7th Ave and again in the last mile before the finish line – my sunglasses were helpful! The aid stations were spaced well (only serve water) but there was only one porta-pottie along the entire 10 mile course. Overall a nice event.
