Not a bad race. Fun theme, but not thing special. Easy, flat course along the Great Miami River — out and back. Good aid station support. Course gets a little crowded. There are several distances happening at once and all the participants are fighting for the same narrow bike trail.

I participated in the Beast challenge – doing the 1 mile race, the 5K, and the 10K. All of the races run along the same river trail, down and back, at various distances. It can get crowded at times, especially when you are trying to pass people and other participants have already done the turnaround and are coming the other way! Luckily, they limit the number of participants to around 500. The swag is great – nice technical shirt, a pint glass, medal, beer, Christmas cookies and a great breakfast at the post-race party. They had Christmas music playing and Christmas decorations on the course, which adds to the fun of celebrating Christmas in July! Organizers did a great job for this inaugural event. Will be back next year!
