Of course I am probably a little biased because this is my "hometown race." I've been involved in some way each year it's been run. In fact, volunteering at course intersections in the early years is why I started running in the first place ("Hey, if they can all do it, I can probably, too!"). But, truly, this is an enjoyable event that keeps improving. There is always plenty of parking and lots of amenities. Most of the town really gets behind the event so there's a lot to enjoy the whole weekend. And the fans (particularly for the half marathon course) are GREAT. I so thoroughly enjoyed the support from strangers and you can't beat a stadium finish line. The addition of FREE race photos this year really put the whole thing over the top for me. If you want a fast, friendly course with a good crowd that's not TOO big, this is the race for you!
