  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I was a bit skeptical going into this race based on past reviews, but with the new course I really can't complain! Granted I was in the A-Corral, but with the exception of the first 1/2 to full mile I never really felt boxed in and was able to run my race. Things were quick and smooth at after party which is good considering the # of people. One suggestion: They bought tons and tons of bananas for dipping into chocolate, but provided none at the finish line. I would have liked a banana with my water and Gatorade.

  • Comments: Started late b/c the 5K course had to be rerouted to do an incident with a truck and a bridge, haha. Other than that, great route, great weather, wonderful post-race treats (didn't have to wait in line b/c we finished so late!) The jacket in the goodie back left something to be desired- I'm not a huge goodie bag fan, I'd rather have some coupons, a couple power bars and a finisher's medal.

  • Comments: Great race. Still too many people and the aid stations were crowded. I'll definitely do this again, very fun race!
