This was my first year running this race and they set it up to be a glow run, which was neat. Check-in was super easy inside a local gym with plenty of restrooms and not crowded at all. They had several tents set up with snacks and drinks. The local community college band and cheerleaders had a pep rally before the race started. The course is through downtown Ellisville and through the campus of Jones College. The first half was very well organized and plenty of crowd support and route instructions. The route got very confusing near the library area of campus and a lot of people took a wrong turn. There were signs, but they weren’t very visible at night. The end of the course in downtown didn’t have anyone showing which direction to run, so a lot of people took the wrong route and came through the finish line the wrong direction. Overall, this is a great local race, and with a little course direction could be even better. Will be doing this one again.
