I was honestly disappointed at first with this race. You hear so much about the expo and how you don't want to miss it so when I arrived in Kansas City I was super stoked all just to find out there was NO EXPO (-_-). Packet pick up ended up being in a very nice running store called The Running Well and the staff were very kind.
At this point I was feeling a bit bummed about what race day would be like but that went away once the day came!
The course was perfect! Just enough hills to make it challenging without being draining. Two bathrooms every half mile it seemed. It was a 5k course that we ran 3 times with only one water station that provided nuun hydration which I love. I just wish there was more to look at than Arrowhead and Kaufman stadium's parking lot.
Would I do it again? Most definitely.
Only suggestion: improve on the "expo".
