This is a nice flat course. I actually surprised myself at the pace I had. I certainly didn’t feel like I was running that fast, but it was a new PR for me. Scenery is not exceptional as it is through a business district. Parking was easy. Shirts were pretty. Medals were small. There was beer and a few vendors at the end.
Overall cool race but medal was lacking

Pretty flat and smooth out-and-back course. For the 10K, we got to run part of it on the nearby airport runway while planes were actually taking off on the other runway. A couple of areas were not clearly marked. At the 3 mile mark, I saw a few people turning to head back, but the turnaround was a little bit after that. I can understand the confusion a little because the trail went off the runway there. An arrow at the 3-mile mark indicating we were to continue past would have fixed that. I was a few minutes between other runners, so I got slightly lost on the way back. After the last water station, the orange cones ended, ao I had a little difficulty trying to figure out which direction to go. I ended up going slightly out of my way to read the signs posted on nearby streets. The race had a nice shirt and bib, but the medal was chintzy. I missed my free beer since I finished the run pretty late, but the crowd support was really great! Would do this run again, but a nicer medal would be appreciated!!
Cool race, flat and fast, runway running
Very flat and fast course, odd we started running before official start time, decent water stations, great crowd, course could have been marked a little better, smallest medal I have … MORE
