As I said in my last review I will continue to do this excellent race! This past year they unfortunately had to reroute the course due to flooding (to no fault of the race director!) which made it have a lot more sections that were paved instead of trail running. But still an excellent, beautiful course and a super fun party after with lots of beer flowing and fun yard games!

The course – A trail run in beautiful Jester park. There are challenging hills and beautiful views. The trails are nice and wide and don’t get too crowded from my experience.
The after party – My favorite after party! Unlimited Firetrucker beer. The best chili you will ever have. (Also some bagels as it is the beer and bagel run). Yard games galore! We’ve been lucky with beautiful weather pretty much every year!
Overall – I love this race and if you want beautiful views and a fun trail run then you will too!

I did this race with work buddies. This was really fun! It’s early in the season so it was a bit chilly but also really nice. The course was really pretty around Jester Park.
Packet pick up, at a local brewery—enough said.
The post-race party and food was great! They had beer, they had bagels and they had chili. I didn’t realize how nice it was to have a bagel and chili post-race. All races should have chili.
Definitely would do it again.
