• Comments: It was nice that they finished right in Copps Coliseum which allowed families watching to stay warm and dry as they broadcast video of outside runners and finish line onto the big screens. Lots of food and drinks available and there was also the opportunity to do a bag check though I was able to find some great parking so I just kept everything in the car. Not a ton of spectators or bands/music as advertised but given the weather, I can totally understand why. Overall it was very well organiized- seeing as it is in its 115th year- they have had lots of time to figure out how to do it right. I ran as 'Steve Good' as it was too late to change names on the bib.

• Comments: The rain hampered a lot of the race stuff. For example none of the live music was out because of the rain. I was surprised at the amount of people along the course cheering despite the dismal weather.
