I love these Paddy’s Day races. They’re very well organized, plenty of portolets, course support, food, and beer. Course had a couple small hills, but mostly flat with one water station. Volunteers and local police were at every intersection making sure runners were safe from cars, even though the roads were closed. There was a collection for non-perishable food for the local food bank too. At the finish, you got beer from the local brewery, which was awesome.
