The first couple miles of the race were on a main city street; after that, most of the race is on a river/canal trail or alongside parks. The scenery was pretty nice, and I was able to see 3-4 hot air balloons take flight. The early start for the race was good because of the August heat. The folks running the race were very friendly and the bling was good. The downsides of the race were: 1. Hard to sign up initially online; 2. Directions to the parking area weren’t clear for out-of-town folks; 3. They ran out of some of the food for us late finishers; 4. Hard to find results online. I think if they can improve the race promotion, organization, and communication, they could attract more folks to run it.
