This was a really good event.
Great awards. The finisher medal was real nice and the 1st thru 3rd plaques were in the top 5 of all the races I have been to and I have run over 200 events in just the last few years.
They did have 1st thru 3rd place cool awards in 5-year increments so that was very good.
All very nice people running the event.
The timing was perfect. Shirts were off the hook. They had pink 100% Polyester and neon green 100% polyester, plus black cotton and poly mixed so I was very happy to be able to get a Neon Green Polyester Shirt. This shirt will be worn to several upcoming events.
1 bad thing.
1. No fruit at the end or anything to snack on.
Other than that, this event gets an A+

Nice run through historic downtown Ocala. Oak lined streets with nice homes in a nice neighborhood. Overall grade estimate for hills was about 3%. There were two primary uphill battles: first climb was 40’ in .4 miles, 2nd climb 60’ in .6 miles (estimated). Seems like I ran uphill all morning! Great experience – will return next year!
