Forest bathing at its best.

The race route was lined with trees and brief views of the Potomac River. It is on crushed gravel and easy to run on. Minimal elevation and no significant obstacles. Parking can be difficult. Race start was 1/4 from one of the parking areas and I would have liked more signage on how to get to start and how to return to parking lot. Adequate support on race. Limited food items to eat after race(mostly chips and sweets). Lots of smiling faces on and off course. Would do again.

I would have performed better if I trained more, proud of what I did accomplish with some standing water. Small crowd, I think only 300 participants allowed. Not a lot of parking and carpooling was encouraged. Nice t shirt. Love the simplicity of the run. Thank you sponsors.
