Small race along a beautiful stream for 80% of the time. One mile on a two lane road and about the same going through town. Course had lots of rolling terrain, no real hills. The road had a decent amount of camber adn crown, but you alternated sides of the road and also had 1 or 2 lanes blocked off just for runners most of the time so you could find a level spot. Production was best I seen, safe course and everything you needed just to enjoy the run. There was plenty of parking, with no issues even if you did not get there early. The regular lot was about a half mile away from the start, and VIP parking ($20) was right at the start/finish. Pre-race information and website had all the details, packet pickup the day before was easy, and many picked up packets the morning of the race.
Porta-potties and water stops were plentiful, they even added some additional due to the higher than normal temperatures. With a very welcome icy towel at the end. You can also take a dip in the stream!
Medal was nice and shirt was too. Good design, color and fabric.
I came from out of town and stayed the night before in Manchester, about a 30 minute drive to New Boston.
