The good news:
I love that you get to start the race off on the ball field and that they get a ticket to the baseball game later that afternoon. The medal and shirt were nice. And getting to see the 1989 World Series trophy was fun (the Giants usually have theirs out).
The bad news:
The course was pretty crappy – two loops around a parking lot are not fun and not worth the entrance fee. The course also wasn’t marked all that well so there was some confusion at one turn and there were a number of people that were cutting the course around some cones that were spaced too far apart.
