I volunteered for this race before deciding to register to run it. They were pretty on point with keeping the aid stations stocked so you never ran into not being able to give aid to a runner. The SWAG that I did see was pretty neat and the medals were as well. Parking wasn't too bad though I did get lost on my way there. Pre Race goodies were provided as well to runners for free. The bits of the course that I did see was very pretty but I did come to the conclusion I personally would not be able to run the course because I just get bored after a while so course entertainment is a must for me to really enjoy it. Over all though its a great group of people and I love the idea this race series.
