This was a fun way to start the holiday. Easy course… a little windy which made it cold. But, it’s late November so you kind of expect that. This one handed out pumpkin pies to finishers which is a different and cool idea. You could buy a medal for $5. It has a neat design. The shirts are ok. Not my favorite, but not terrible. The best part of this race was seeing everyone dressed up and enjoying themselves. Super positive atmosphere and definitely worth it.
