Bottom Line: Nicely organized race, well loved by the local community, with a great post-race party!
Expo: The expo was held at the local community college so there was plenty of space to spread out. At the expo, there were a few local food trucks and plenty of seating under the tent. Race bib pickup was in the gymnasium and easy to navigate. You were then instructed to proceed to another gymnasium where all of the vendors were located, as well as your pint glass and race swag. Very nicely organized though some areas were tight due to crowds.
Pre-Race: Great communications from the race organizers. Loved the email and podcast format. The podcast offered a bit more detail than the emails but both provided all of the important details.
Start Area/Corrals: I opted to take the shuttle from the finish area to the start line. Parking at the finish area was pretty easy to navigate. Could have benefited from more signage on where the shuttles were but I just asked a volunteer and followed the crowd. The shuttle itself was fast and easy. Arrived at the start area with plenty of time. I will not there are not a lot of port-a-potties so I jumped in the early. I did not that minutes before the race start, the lines were still long.
Course: The course itself is nicely designed. Not a lot of twists and turns. First half mile is a hill, which was rough considering this year’s heat and humidity. there are plenty of water and ice stations throughout the course. Mile 3/4 is through the golf course and you’ll encounter another hill. the rest of the course after that was relatively easy. The crowd support for this race is amazing. This is clearly a well loved raced by the community.
Post Race: One of the best post race parties I have been to. The finish chute was well designed with retrieving your medal, chocolate milk, water and snacks, as well as a boilermaker wash cloth. The beer at the post race party was delicious, the band was great, and the flyover was amazing.
If you are looking to check New York off your 50 state list and cannot get into the NYC Marathon, definitely consider this race!

Bottom Line: Nicely organized race and pretty course.
Expo: We parked in a parking garage across from the expo to keep it easy. We paid to park but I don’t recall it being much. The expo was small but very organized. My boyfriend even remarked that it was one of the most organized expos we have attended.
Pre-Race: The communications were very detailed and timely. We stayed in West Hartford and I was dropped off at the starting area about an hour earlier than start time and there was no traffic. The staging area was slightly confusing but there were a lot of signs and volunteers there to help. Tons of port-a-potties 🙂
Corrals: There are two different start lines, one for the 5k and the other for the full and the half. Again, there is clear signage so it’s not a problem. One minor thing here, I didn’t realize you needed a special sticker on your bib if you planned on running faster than an 10 minute mile? They block off that corral and you can only enter if you had that sticker. I wasn’t the only person who missed that detail. Not a big deal but I did spend the first mile weaving in and out of people.
Course: I really enjoyed the course. There were a good amount of spectators and most of the course went through beautiful neighborhoods. The first few miles were a little sketchy but made for good entertainment 😉 There were ample water stops and I liked how they had cyclists on the course that were there to assist you if you needed water or GU. Great idea! The finish line was spectacular. You finished under the arch and the last 100 meters of the course was lined with mums.
Post Race: The race offered gear check, but it was executed very poorly. Due to rain the morning before the race, they moved the bags inside a building but the pickup table was located outside. So the volunteers (who were lovely!) had to go from the table, up a step of stairs, into the building, and it took several minutes to get your bag. Again, not a huge deal but something to be aware of. I would have ditched the bag but I wanted my stuff back 🙂 I didn’t partake in the festival because I celebrated at my family’s house, but it seemed like people were having fun.
Overall, I really enjoyed this race and will be back once my 50 state goal is done 🙂
