I won’t use the weather against the event here as it was raining for the first 5 miles. The first 4 miles are up and over a couple large bridges and back in to town, really enjoyed that part. Then as you get back in to town, you go through different neighborhoods with some views of older buildings. Course support for the aid stations were great. Signage was minimal. Not really a whole lot of community support, just assumed that was due to the weather. I will say though, I did not like that as you run through a couple busy intersections, there were no police or race help with traffic and you had to trust the vehicles at these stop lights would just wait. Then finally “the medal” was a piece of rectangular plastic with a sticker on it. Overall, it was good, the after race food and drinks were a nice touch, just wish there was attention to traffic control and an actual medal.
