2012 was the first year I participated in this race and I was highly disappointed. First of all the cost was $25 and the whole race was very disorganized. I would say the most organized part of the race was the packet pick up on Friday night but other than that very disorganized. No one knew where the start line was, the PA system was horrible, there was no gun or start signal and then we waited around for almost an hour after everyone had finished for the awards. Also the timing of this race was horrible! My friend and I finished at the exact same time and there was no one around us when we finished however on the “official” results we finished 15 people apart and over 2 minutes difference. I will not be spending my money on this race again until they have a better timing system and organization of the race.
I really enjoyed this course. The people were very nice and course was well maked.
A fun race with a relaxed atmosphere. Lots of moms and dads racing with strollers, but there was plenty of room for all to run or walk. Cute races to involve the kids afterward. TONS of food and drinks after the race!!!
