I loved everything about this race! The expo was great. It was easy to get my bib and they had some nice vendors to check out. As for the race, I recommend parking at the start rather than the finish. It was easy to park and to get a shuttle back at the end of the race, and it was free! There were a ton of runners but it never felt crowded. The course itself was beautiful, with great scenery almost the entire way. Tons of aid/water stations with water, Gatorade and snacks. I loved that so many residents came out to cheer us on, or even set up their own water stations! The finish line was filled with supporters and the announcers were so entertaining, yelling out finishers as they crossed the lines. The medals were fantastic and I loved how Saje was at the end waiting for runners to give them some pain relief.

I also ran the 5k the evening before, and that event was just as well run. I will definitely be back next year!
