This had been the first time I ran a race longer than 5K. I remember at the time it was actually a 10K, so I guess they have changed the distance since then. The expo was nice and it was very family friendly. I liked that they had a live band as well and lots of various resources for runners from gear to hydration. The course itself wasn't too bad, just a couple hills to be conquered. The bigger thing I remember was the heat! It got really hot early in the day, which I guess isn't too uncommon for high temps in Riverside, CA. Overall it was good, I would do it again if the swag had been a bit more attractive. But it was located next to the Mission Inn and a bunch of restaurants and shops to check out!
