This is a small race. Sometimes those are harder for me mentally, because there are fewer people at my pace. But I really enjoyed this one.
The scenery around the lake was beautiful. The trees were just starting to change and we wound in and out of parks and got different views of the lake. The weather was perfect for the run. The best part, though, was the race volunteers. We were almost the last people in the race, but they were energetic, encouraging, and upbeat just the same.
The medal is OK. The shirt is nothing to write home about. But the mug is a pretty cool piece. And the apple cider and caramel apple at the finish line was perfect for a fall run.
Race production was smooth. Packet pickup was at a running store which was very convenient. Signage was clear and well laid out. I would have liked to have seen more aid stations, but I get it. I would definitely run this again.

This race is mostly around Zorinsky Lake, which is beautiful in the fall with the changing leaves. There are some hills but they aren’t awful. The medals are nice, the athletic pullover is really nice, and the hot cider and caramel apple at the finish were oh so good! Volunteers are plenty, as are water stations, but spectators are scarce. The race is well-organized.
