If I could improve this race, I would add a volunteer at the halfway mark of the 10k route.
The 10k was an “out and back” route. There were two cones at the far end, one at the 3 mile mark and I believe the 2nd was the 3.1 mile turn around. It was hard to tell though, there were no signs. I seen a runner turn back at the first cone, but I understand why. The first cone had balloons on it. If that was the turn around, then I ran too far and ran to the 2nd cone which had “10K TA” stamped on it. I assume that was the 10k turn around.
The medal was a generic 10k medal, so if you’re looking for a medal with a race name and year, this might not be the race for you, but I dont mind. I’m unsure how the half marathon and 5k medals looked though.
The bib pickup table was not clearly labeled. There were two lines. The left line had a sign that said t-shirt pickup. I assumed the right line was for the bibs but the line on the right didn’t have a sign, so i got in that line. Once I reached the table, I told the lady my name and she simply pointed to the next line without saying a word. I headed to the line with the sign that said t-shirt pickup and got my bib and t-shirt there.
The course was flat and fast. About 3 aid stations for the 10k. Some gave out paper cups but some had plastic cups which can be hard to bend shut to drink and run at the same time. Just an FYI if you’re a runner that likes to run and drink at the same time.
I did enjoy a free mimosa at the beer garden and the vendors were great as well.
