This inaugural race was held in a city park on a course that was on an approximately 1.25 mile loop of smooth, crushed limestone. Even though it was a small race and run for the first time, it had a lot of amenities of larger, more established races such as chip timing and a well stocked aid station. We were able to park right along the course on the edge of the park, so there was easy access to anything we needed in our cars. A few people set up tents or shelters along the course, but I just put a chair out next to my car. Even though it was an urban park, there was plenty to see as we ran. On one side of the course there was a native, tallgrass prairie dominated by Big Bluestem. Later in the day, eastern cottontails could be seen along the edge of the prairie.
Swag included a nicely designed t-shirt in a neutral color and a nice medal. Later in the afternoon, the race director cooked hamburgers and made them available to the runners. Overall, the weather was pleasant and a good time was had by all.
