I loved this race! I wanted to do it again this year but it conflicts with another race I'm running. I had a great time on the course because of everyone cheering and the great atmosphere. The course was fast and flat, which was awesome.
The only thing I would say is be prepared to wait a little while for bag check! There were definitely long lines last year so that part wasn't very smooth. Otherwise, awesome race!
I was amazed at the amount of community support that showed up to cheer the runners on. This along with the varying race course bands made the run playful and memorable.
The race was well organized and I was so thankful for the drink and occasional snack stations along the way as well as the refreshing brew and more snacks waiting at the finish line! I hope the race organizers are able to keep this up in the years to come.
Of course, every runner is different, but in hind-sight, I didn't need to bring my own water bottle while I ran. The course is very well organized with numerous drinking stations available along the way.
