This race was small on flash and glitz, but large on community caring and charm. It was a little unclear just where the start would be, but easy to find the morning community family group setting things up. Bib and t-shirt pick up before the race start involved pen, paper and patience, yet all were taken care of prior to the race. The start/finish were digitally timed for the race but individual timed by volunteers with observations and pen/paper. All the effort supports mentoring fund raising efforts for local teens and is a great local tradition. Recovery snacks and food were great, with several selections. The after race ceremony made you feel that participation was part of something special for this community. The t-shirt and race medals wear normal race good quality. The local city associated Shrimp and Petroleum festival was an interesting large booth end event protected by the city overpass highway. Works well in this rain rich near coastal community
