A nice local Fourth of July race. Strictly Running offers packet pickup a couple days before the race at their store or morning of at the race location. The last few years they’ve offered a couple different color options for the race shirt (you decide at packet pick up, shirt is a unisex cotton t shirt that runs a little small). Race is either a four mile run or there is a relay option. Relay runners hop into a van before the race starts and get dropped off at the 2 mile mark. Race starts at 7:04am, which is cute but it’s so hot/humid that I wish we could just start at 6am and call it good. Race course is mildly hilly – enough to wake you up but not enough to burn out your quads or make you regret your life choices. Finisher medals for everyone and watermelons for the overall winners. Fair amount of parking available and restaurants/coffee shops right around the corner.
