Parking is right near the start/finish area and there is a gym where you can stay warm inside before and after the race. The course is nice, it has some rolling hills and is an out and back, there is plenty of space between runners/never feels crowded. The course was a little short according to my Garmin. Everyone gets a very nice medal at the end. If you get an age group award you receive a mug or a glass (your choice) and get to stand on a podium for a photo. After the race they have some breakfast foods (pancakes and other warm things plus snacks like granola bars) available plus water and Gatorade. They have aid stations every 2 miles on the odd miles (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) with water and Gatorade. Overall I really enjoyed this race!
