So aside from a small one rounding the block at the start, there are no main hills on this race. The out and back is along both sides of a divided road (2 lanes each direction) that is slightly elevated, so expect large sections of uphill and large sections of downhill. Very slight grade though, so it’s just a slog when it’s hot and something you barely notice when it isn’t.
The medal is always nice heavy and could pass for a 10k in quality easily. There’s coffee and snacks at the start and finish, with a local coffee supplier setting up shop to make lattes and whatnot on request. I just got a black sample of their coffee, not sure if the more complicated drinks you had to pay for or not. Pretty good cotton tshirt with a big race logo on the front to match the medal. I wouldn’t call this a PR course by any stretch, but I did end up finishing slightly faster than yesterday’s race.

Nice flat double out and back w/ a loop

This was my first time on this closed off road track. Honestly, I think I would have placed difficulty lower, but for the fact that it was the hottest on race day that it’d been in the past 5 years and I was seriously underhydrated for this event. There is sun and shade along the way and it’s not a horrible track to look at as far as office park 5ks go, but wow was I miserable in that muggy heat that moved in early that day. Nice medal, the tshirt I honestly don’t remember because my race notes for that day got messed up, but if next summer is more forgiving I’ll be out there again for sure. Say hi when you pass me.
