  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was a very well done race. The Wizard of Oz theme was very cute. Cheap cotton/poly shirt, but good design. I would have gladly paid for an extra tech shirt, but they had no apparel for sale. Expo was adequate. Everything was organized, on time, tons of water stops with helpful, eager volunteers, with water, gatorade, lots of Gu. Post race spread was very quiet, but I think the half marathoners left quickly due to the cold and wind.

  • Comments: The race was well organized from what I could tell. There was plenty of volunteers who did an excellent job. There was at least 4 GU stations and more than enough water stations. Volunteers would shout out "gatorade first, then water" thinkgs like that. I was too out of it to really notice the after race festivities.

  • Comments: If you don't like running in a huge pack, this is a great race. There were times I was all alone out there after the full/half split. Very well run and supported. Only down side is that it is small and I have run that trail a lot, so nothing new to look at and take my mind off the distance.
