Organized event! Lots of communication prior to the day, especially because the course changed due to the rain. It did not rain on race day, but the first mile was a gradual downhill that became a gradual uphill on the way back. The greenway part was tight for runners going in both directions. However the comradery was great for everyone.
After the run there was a bunch of food and drink trucks. Included in the race was a drink and food item. Awards were medals for top 3 in each age group. They were medal awards. There was also a fastest first mile awards.
Only complaint was the course difficulty, which would be different if the rain had missed us.
