• Comments: Since we were late, we missed the congestion at the starting line, so that was fortunate because it seemed like everyone was just coralled in. At the finish line, there were a lot of people hanging around in the shute area and a lot of non-runners just outside of the shute so it was hard to know where to go and find liquid (in my oxygen deprived state - all I thought about was ... 'where is the water?????') and with so many people standing around the gatorade tables it was tough to navigate through. The gatorade stand was too close to the finish line, so there was a mass of people there. Other than that it was a great run, the volunteer's where great, the course was flat and easy - and as a first timer, I would definitely recommend it to anyone and will absolutely be back next year!

• Comments: Run seemed more disorganized than last year (I didnt run last year but I watched). They didn't line people up for the race, so slow and fast people were all mixed together. This was annoying because the course was fairly narrow in the beginning.
