  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The "free beer" is gone by the time joggers like me get to the Finish Area. Keeping in mind that I was about 3800 out of 12000, there's no excuse for that. The Finish Line area is always jammed and bottlenecked, which results in runners having to stand still (completely) for several minutes after running the Hart Bridge. This is not so smart.

  • Comments: Awesome swag. For such a cheap ($25) race, I got a shirt, cup, hat, mouse pad, and a bunch of other little things. The expo was just the right size, and parking was excellent. Bathroom lines weren't too bad either. Since this was the 32nd time of this event, the experience definitely showed. These people know how to put on this event. Loved it.

  • Comments: End of race was terrible. There were only enough hats for about 2000 finishers. Water was provided at the end, but you had to hike to get to any food. Not a good post race wrap up. I did not go to the post race event.
