Great race that I decided to do once I saw the medal...maybe that shouldn't be the motivating factor, but I thought this year's medal was pretty cool and unique. I was pleasantly surprised by how efficiently the expo got you in and out. Would have liked to have seen a few more presenter's but it was fine. The long sleeve T-Shirt was really nice and won't be a throw out shirt, which many are these days. It was another perk I was looking forward to from my registration.

On to the race...the course only really has two hills - both between miles 8-10 (if I remember correctly) in Cherokee park. The scenery was beautiful in the park and offered some shade once the sun got up, but since it was a chilly morning, it wasn't that big of deal.

The last mile is pretty good with a few turns and a finish that dumps you right into the after party on 4th Street Live in downtown Louisville. The stations with the spread out enough where everyone wasn't crowding around one booth trying to get their food and drinks. The burgoo alone made it worth the run! Well organized event from start to finish with great communication throughout.
