This race was really fun. It’s on the smaller scale, I think about 1000 people raced but the production was so well run that it felt like it could have tens of thousands. The course was pretty simple, go out 6.5 miles, turn around and go back the other way. Leading up to the race I was concerned about the 2 mile “hill” ie the bridge, but it felt a lot more flat than I was anticipating.
The was two things I didn’t like and one that can easily be fixed is the road at the end (and beginning) has a lot of potholes and large cracks which felt dangerous after running 13 miles, maybe if they had some traffic cones or something just to help people avoid those spots. The other thing was the medal handout was right at the finish line, like right there. While most races would have the medals maybe 15 feet back so you could prepare for it. These are really just small issues to an overall well done event. Swag was great, tacos were fantastic. I now have a medal with an AT-AT!

10/10 would recommend and definitely run again
