This race has gone on for many years. It used to be a local favorite. Each year it gets more disappointing. It is at night which is wonderful for a Florida race. The organizing is good with packet pickup and where to park, very clear. The shirt is ok, and the medal is always amazing each year, those are the pros. The cons are, barely any Christmas or holiday atmosphere on the street, compared to previous years. No snow machine on the course like previous years. Hardly any spectators like previous years. Absolutely no vendors set up as advertised, this is always a favorite as they advertise the race to hang out before and after. They had Publix handing out cake pops, which was very good. The weinermobile was there for Pics ONLY, and one table had some energy drinks and snacks but ran out BEFORE the race. NO BEER as advertised, even the volunteers were disappointed. The food from the Grove was good, but super tiny portion, no option of anything, you get a roll and ziti, not even a fruit bar banana etc. NO swag, previous years, got a bag with light up show laces, bracelets, lots of swag. They do advertise it, this year, nothing. Look elsewhere, lots of other race options.
