• Comments: This was my first year running this. I was expecting chaos just because of the sheer number of people, but it was well organized and everything went smoothly. The city shuts down downtown and it's a huge party along the whole course. All the bars open up, there were at least 15 bands playing along the race course. Spectators set up there own water (and a few beer) stops. Probably the best running race I've run.

• Comments: There should really be a better party after, but I guess that everyone just wants to go to Thanksgiving. They should look into limiting the number of participants. Too many peeps (1000's)were still not corralled at the gun.
