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.

Had a lot of run running this race. I absolutely really like the handmade metals and the plaque for the back to back. So unfortunately this was suppose to be my second race in the back to back weekend but the Mississippi race was cancelled due to ice. The race course was very scenic, and there were plenty of water stations. It was a lot of fun and a highly recommend this race for someone if you need Alabama as a state.

I only have good words for this race. Enjoyed myself and highly recommend this race to others. The race director really cares about creating a memorable and fun race. There were aid stations galore, a bacon station, and stations that had half bananas and orange slices. Even the cycling support people had Twizzlers and gummy bears.

All I can say is this race is an extremely organized race and is really fun. They had plenty of Aid station and a lot of entertainment on the course. Couldn't ask for a better race. Please read my blog for my review on the run!

This is the second time I have ran this race. This one you get to run across two bridges, which I really like. It has lots of Crowd Support. The course is marked really well and really can't get lost. Great Volunteers, and police officers stopping traffic.
