    The race was awesome! Well organized! Great volunteers! When looking for a race and you see the trekman racing is behind it, sign up! I have ran several races and 2 of those were trekman races, they were the best all around! Thanks Dave and trekman racing!

    Five stars all the way. The pre-race notifications, the race course, the speaker set up, the tents with food, the instant individual race results printout, the door prizes…all very well done and very much appreciated. I wondered with so many people that it might be a crowded, but it was not crowded on the road at all. It was a great race. Well organized with great volunteers. And thanks for the weather too!

    A great event for all abilities and ages. It doesn’t matter if you come in first or last, there are plenty of people to cheer you on and everyone has a great time. Tons of post race food and awesome door prizes. You don’t have to run on busy streets and parking is a breeze (really!). Don’t miss the fun and costumes! A perfect race for people running their first 5K, but there’s no shortage of speedy folks, either!

    Great race! Very well organized, as the Trekman Racing events always are. Flat course and tons of food after the race. Biggest 5K I’ve ever done but the course never felt overly crowded….or at least never as crowded as the couple Rock and Roll half marathons I’ve done!!

    A quality early race year in and year out. Extra place medals for larger age groups was a nice touch. Great field. Great volunteers and race crew.

    If you haven’t signed up for this yet, YOU SHOULD!!! Dave with Trekman racing does everything right when it comes to a race. He pays attention to every detail and if you want to run a fun and organized race, you will get that with his races. I also recommend his Park to Park race in September. No one should miss that one.

    AWESOME race. Great turnout in 2010, over 400. A little cool, but very well organized by Dave, as always. Plenty of great company, a tent with heaters, coffee, and fabulous awards. The course was altered this year due to some trails still being under the weather. It was still a certified course.
