Personally, it’s hard for me to say “no” to this race series because the course is located 1 km from my home, so my review is quite biased, given that I did not have to drive or take public transportation to the race site, or even get up early. Judging by the inbound traffic, I’m sure if I had to actually take a car to Sunnybrook Park, this race would rate a lower review because there isn’t much parking near the start line. Also, there are no pacers for the half marathon distance but again that did not affect me since I ran only the 5K.
My only complaint is that you need your bib number for kit pick-up, but the numbers are not posted online or emailed to you. Instead, at the kit pick-up location, everyone crowds around a bristol board poster with tiny text, searching for their name.
I was promised firemen at the water station but there were no firemen this year! Or maybe they were located further out for the half marathon runners. Ah well, at least there was Awake chocolate samples at the water station, and free Starbucks coffee at the end. Also, this race features a kit with a Mizuno tech tee, decent post-race food (see my images), and free professional photos courtesy of Zoomphotos.
