This is my second year in a row that my family and I have ran this event. This year is special because my 5 year old son joined us and ran his 5k ever! I really enjoy this race, it is a very very kid and family friendly event. I would say that most 5k are family friendly and have a 1 mile walk option but the ASA has a kids dash as well as a festival afterwards with kid’s games, prizes, face painting, moon bounce, snow cone station, etc. The course itself has some hills but nothing heavy.
The only issue I found this year is that this race has grown in popularity. The first mile was extremely congested! They need to do a better job of keeping the returning runners from colliding into one another as the course has many turns. There were many mighty milers (local kids running group) running the 5k and a few of them tripped on one another and started to cry. This could of been avoided if it it wasn’t congested.
