Is there a medal and tshirt? Yup
Does the 10k have to do two laps? Nope
Should I have written this review sooner? Yes, because while it was a good race I had to actively search my route to remember what I liked about it.
I’ve been struggling with some heel and knee pains, so my race performances have not been exactly what I have been hoping for in terms of finish time. This was one of those races. With a 50-miler coming up, I am hesitate to push through an injury or pain and actually causing a greater problem. Nonetheless, the Easter Egg 10k starts in the parking lots wraps around the corner to a big downhill, only to be followed by an uphill. The one thing I really enjoyed was the 3-mile split from the 5k runs. I like when the 10k and 5k share a good chunk of the course and then the 10k gets an extra treat. In this case, that extra treat came in the form of a furry critter. Rumor has it that a certain fellow runner even stopped for a boop.
The other 10k treat was a smooth downhill to the finish. The downhill led into the final parking lot turn toward the finish line. It was a cool morning, so the crowds had dwindled down. Additionally, the good-sized crowd were mainly 5k runners. I look forward to doing this race again, because once was not enough. I want to try to improve on this new course.
Mind the raccoon...

Met a raccoon friend at mile 4. Boops cost me about 5 minutes, but what can you do. Anyway… Nice new course I hope to see again. The 10k was the 5k loop plus an out and back. Good course design with a strong downhill shortly before the finish, a slight incline, then a sustained fall to the finish line made for great course design, and the 5k road mixed with the second 5k paved park trail was a nice combo we don’t get much. Super cute medal and shirt. Energy and turnout were both higher than expected on a suddenly cool morning. This was a dark horse race that I’m already looking forward to for next year.
