I ran the race after a very tough winter where weather and school work really prevented me from getting out and training. I was not at all prepared for the race but I made it through with encouragement with the wonderful people along the course cheering and those who were also running the race with me. The fact that the first 10k of the race runs through the industrial core is really unfortunate as you have to wonder what you’re breathing in and its less than picturesque, but the other 20k make up for it with the gorgeous homes along the beach strip, through Burlington, and then coming back towards copps (first ontario place). I thought that the race was run fabulously, I loved that they give you a time for halfway as well, the gear was awesome – by far my favourite shirt which looked great and was a great material. The end in the arena was great and very grand, as was the expo when picking up your racing package. Parking was also very easy. I would absolutely recommend running this race to anyone considering it. I will be back in 2018.
