  • Comments: An all-around great race. Hard to say anything but good things about Warsaw & the Optimists. One of the better run races in the state. However, I am not sure this venue can support too many more racers. I'll be back next year & on the podium for clydes.

  • Comments: Can't beat this race for the close proximity to my house (4 miles) and the post-race food is second to none. They've done weird things during awards in the last couple years. Last year they awarded only 2 places in some women's AGs but 3 in all the men's (not cool in my book and they heard strong feedback on that). This year, the overall winners were also winners in their AG so they got two of the same plaques. That was just plain strange. I'll continue to do this race because it's so fun to see all the people I know.

  • Comments: Sean paced and pushed me the last mile, it was hell. He told me I once told him I wished I had run with Dad and he was fulfilling that wish, I don't remember ever saying that, I thought I was going to puke all over his shoes...

  • Comments: The race organizers do a wonderful job overall. If I had to point to one thing I would say they need to get the awards correct. It seems every year there is some kind of a problem with the awards. This year I was given 3rd overall before a correction needed to be made. I think something along these lines happens each year. Either way, this is a very well done race and likely why it draws so many people.. Race Results: http://www.onlineraceresults.com/race/view_race.php?race_id=33214&s...

  • Comments: Nice park, nice people, nice course. I will be back next year. I appreciated the security. They took their job seriously and I did not have to worry leaving stuff at the transition area.
