Comments:

Really hot and humid, even with starting at 8 pm. The idea was to run with glow sticks and have it be dark, but it wasn't quite dark when we started. Dark at the end, but it would have been way too dark to run at that point.

Ran most of the time, but definitely had to take some walk breaks. The humidity was killing my asthma and we started off way too fast.
What would you do differently?:

Not much. The goal was to have fun and do the run as a family, which we definitely did.
Post race
Warm down:

Walked around, got some popsicles, then walked back to the car.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Heat and humidity
