I’ve done this race 3 years in a row now. It’s a great time of year for racing as I love cooler weather. The course itself has changed each year so far. It is held downtown the past two years (the first year ran along the bike course by the river). The course is flat and fast.
The one thing I think this race is really lacking is any sort of personable feel to it. It makes it feel like a giant money grab. There was no race announcer or race director to be found. Instead a cheesy recording was playing on repeat. There is also a huge lack of options for post race food. All they have is cinnamon rolls.
I also think it’s kind of ridiculous to give out finisher medals for the 5k participants but that’s just my opinion. I’d rather pay less and not get a finisher medal when I’m participating in a 5k. Then the medals could specifically be for the half marathoners and specifically say half marathon instead of half marathon/5k.
All that being said, I have done the race 3 years in a row and will likely continue to do so. However for such a basic 5k race I would expect a little bit lower of a price tag.

I really didn’t like this race at all!! I’ve run 34 have marathons and this was one of the worst ever. Very disorganized and very disappointed!! MORE
