I love running their Spring race in April. So I had high expectations for this race especially when they updated and said trick or treat stops, ghost busters, and zombies. I was really disappointment and in fact thought about quiting with only a few miles in to take the metrolink back home. The course was boring, there were no trick or treat or candy for that matter on the course unless since I was a back of the packer and they ran out. Also this isn't a back of the packer friendly race. I got to the finishline with maybe ten mins or so to they close it down and they were already have shut down the area to get food and water. I had to reach in the box to get my own. FAIL!! I understand it was cold and the voulenteers were there early but it you say the finish line is open to a certain time then people should still be handing out water and food till then.
I will say on a positive note they did have plenty aid station on the course. The Volunteers were excited and were cheering everyone on. I also love my pullover and the sweatshirt for taking the go long challenge.
Unfortunately I will not be running this race again and will not recommend this to anyone else for the time being. I will however still recommend the Go! family weekend in the spring as that one was fun and had a good course.
