This is a really good race! The course is fast, with little elevation, but has a very interesting and at times technical path through the Fresno Zoo. There are all levels of runner, and people were welcome no matter what. The aid station support was excellent but I wished they had a different electrolyte than Gatorade. the Finish line at the Baseball Stadium (Chukchansi Park) was great. This is part of a two day weekend with a bike ride on Saturday. for those that do both, the Medals join together to say,”Rode the Freeway, Ran the Zoo.” and a Bonus animal pin was given. The Shirts and Medals were of great quality. There were also a number of bands on the course, but interestingly the songs were not always motivational…”Take it easy”?? I was hoping for more of a beat, such as the surf music at Surf City… the DJ at one corner had just what i needed for a strong finish. Ice Cream at the finish was a real surprize and treat. there is a beer garden for those that like that sort of thing. Parking was convenient and close by.

Great race will do it again
Good course. Fun running through the new African safari and seeing all the animals. Hate the last mile that zig zags towards and away from the finish line. MORE
