I loved this race. It is a point to point but we had one of our spectators drop us off at the start location. There were buses that drove people from the parking lot to the start as well. The elevation change was a very gradual incline so although you were climbing almost the entire race you really didnt notice it. The scenery was beautiful. We started running before the sun came up and got to see it rising around us which was an amazing experience. There werent a lot of places for spectators but in the few areas where they could be they were there. I had no issues with traffic on the course either. I will state that I had no cell reception in Townsend at all so that is something that people may need to potentially be aware of. All in all I loved this race and felt that it was very well executed.
