The 10K starts early (as they should!) so it might be more festive once the 5K gets started. It seemed pretty empty in the morning until it got started. I got there early and found a parking spot pretty easily right inside the park; however, my family did the 5K, showed up later, and had to park in the neighborhood area and walk over.
The shirt is actually pretty nice – a tech T-shirt with the fun turkey logo on it. I’m not sure if it was just mine, but they do run small. The medal is super fun, though, and obviously I run for the bling. The 10K and 5K medals are the same, though.
The run itself was great, right alongside Yorba Regional Park and the Santa Ana River Trail. I enjoyed the scenery and there were just the right amount of drink stops. My main criticism was that the finish line is on the path and the sides were filled with volunteers or family members, so there was very little space for the runners to go – I ended up bumping into someone. I actually emailed this note to the production, though, and they said they were trying out a different set up and will take it into account for the next race!
