Love this race, 4th time at this site. Will most likely skip it next year to try the RNR New Orleans though.
What would you do differently?:

Before the race didn't run more than 10 miles, really felt it at mile 12, where the race started to come apart. Best race ever from 5K-12K time wise.

Event comments:

Love this race, although I noticed that the end of race food selection was not as good as past years. Not sure if it is the economy, or that the race folks are starting to cut back a little with all the races that then now run.
