Helpful staff but not enough stations.
Roads weren’t blocked, so often had to wait to cross. Pancakes were nice at the end, but for the price it did not have enough bathrooms or aid stations. MORE

I love this family friendly father’s day weekend tradition. I look forward to finishing every year and enjoying the pancakes. Swag is fun and the course is easy does it with some nice scenic views.

Well organized, kids race was very cute, good energy, simple small town vibe. The course was flat and fast and followed a paved trail along the river. There were a few vendors and was a fun and festive event. The pancakes at the end were a nice touch.
