This was a very well-organized memorial race with lots of sponsors. It also coincided with a local Italian festival, adding a wonderful atmosphere to the entire event.
The course is probably the simplest I have run for a race: down one street, turn right and go one block over, return on a parallel street. There were a couple of hilly spots where I walked for a few seconds. I managed to snag one of the age group awards and…WOW! I received a large tote bag, $50 restaurant gift certificate, $25 gift certificate at another restaurant, certificate for an ice cream pie from a local dairy, and a certificate for 2 lbs of cookies from a local pastry shop. I would have considered these great prizes for overall winners, let alone age group winners. The overall winners prizes were even better and valued at least $1500, and more!
