Negatives: not enough potties creating a long line before the race, gravel road around the Wildhorse was rough, the second street was not closed – almost hit by a bus, shorter than Half distance (20K by my Garmin and Stryd).

(This portion pasted from last year’s review.)
There were a number of tunnels and an overpass that you run on in each direction. They were not very steep, though runners who live in a flat city and don’t do any hill training may not like them too much.
The course is mostly paved roads, but there is a section (about 1.5 miles) that is gravel . A good portion of it also goes through parks, so the scenery is often more interesting than watching cars go by.
