I used this race to knock off Virginia on my quest to race the states. Packet pickup was held at a local high school, so there really wasn't an expo. I did appreciate a few backdrop banners that you could use to pose with your bib. My biggest complaint is that they did not have a shirt in my size. They wrote down my address and promised to mail me one, but of course it never came. In the grand scheme of things, this should not be a big deal, but it stinks not having one.

Race day was great. Lots of parking available within close distance to start/finish area. The race started right on time which is always nice. The scenery is nothing to brag about, but I liked the greenway portions and a few times running in backwoods type areas near fields. I wouldn't necessarily label this course "hilly" although it did have quite a few hills. The race seemed to go by quick and had a nice downhill finish. Post race food included chili (too hot for me to eat in September) and lots of candy. I went crazy with the Hershey bars. ;)

I would recommend this race to a friend; it had a nice hometown vibe and the people were very friendly!
