No frills race. Super easy to participate from packet pick up the day of the event to the ample parking. The course is easy and nicely shaded, but beware there isn’t water stations scattered throughout the race and this years field of runners were very fast. I ran a 2:52 and came in last, whereas in other races there are usually lots of people behind me. The people running the race were super nice and didn’t mind at all that I was pretty far behind everyone else, since there was a 3.5 hour time limit. Also, think about personal hydration since there isn’t water between miles 3.5-9, so running 6 miles in heat/humidity without water is challenging. If you’re looking for a no frills race just to get out and run, this is a good one.
