This was a “pre-packaged” event from All Community events. Similar events with the same swag were put on in different cities around the country. The exact distances offered depend on the particular race venue. This event was put on in Beckley Creek park on a portion of the Louisville Loop paved bike path. There were pacers provided for the half marathon (and I was one of them). There were a couple of long hills, but most of the route was pretty flat. Water and sports drink were provided in 3 areas along the course 2 of which were passed twice. Free finish line photos were included. There were 480 5k finishers and 228 for the half. The only food I got at the finish was a cup with a few grapes in it. Maybe the 5k took most of the food? Swag: I really liked the tech hoodie, but the medal and the pint glass both seemed pretty cheap. Parking is a potential concern, but I didn’t have any trouble as I arrived early as part of the pace team.
