    Since I reviewed this race last year, I’ll just add some more details.

    Course: while most of the course is a generally soft trail, the beginning (and on the 2nd lap of the 10-mile course) has crushed stone that can be uncomfortable with softer soled shoes. My altra superior come with an optional stone guard and I wish I had used them.

    After the race: there were games and prizes after the awards were given out. The prizes were just little stuff, but I thought it a nice touch. There was also a variety of food available including nonalcoholic beer.

    This event offered a 5 (actually 5.5) mile and a 10 mile run. Both started at the same time, with the 10 mile route being two loops of the 5 miler. The course was mainly double and single track trails with occasional views of the lake. The trails were not overly technical, but there were plenty of roots/stumps to watch out for. The race didn’t start until 8 AM, so it was quite hot by the time I finished the 10 mile race. Runners got a nice short sleeved shirt. Pint glasses were given as age group awards.
