Race starts and ends in a park. There are some restrooms and plenty of portapots. Course is mostly asphalt and cement but a portion near the beginning is on a packed dirt trail through woods, there is also some boardwalk. There are pacers, plenty of water stops, mile markers. Ice pops about halfway. It gets dark if you take more than 1:45 to complete, so good idea to wear a headlamp. Skimpy free refreshments after race, but this year they did give a beer coupon. Women got a tank, men got tshirt. Large medal. Results posted fast. Free photos.

Race starts out on asphalt road, then does about a mile on a trail through woods, then back to asphalt and cement. Mile markers at most miles. Race is in August at night, so usually very hot. Bring a headlight because it is really dark in some areas. It rained prior to race this year, so that cooled it down. Plenty of water/gatorade stops on the route and ice pops at one stop. Usual refreshments after race and icy wet alien towel. Results posted quickly. Free photos also. Short sleeve blended T-shirt and nice medal.

Race starts and ends in the Riverside Park. On asphalt, then trail for a little, then back to asphalt, boardwalk, and cement. If it is going to take more than 1:45 you should really have a light with you because it is dark. Coming back into the park there are lights shining in your eyes that sort of disorient/blind you (maybe for the Alien invasion). Plenty of water stops along the route.
