This race was a lot of fun! I was originally signed up for the 10K, but some generally poor health and weird injuries meant I wanted to switch to the 5K, which was luckily no trouble!
I believe the 5K course was changed somewhat last minute because of some flooding on the original course after the rainy year we’ve had. It was generally flat and pretty fast and went out and back along the Arroyo Trail in Livermore. The scenery was very pretty, with streams and vineyards along the majority of the course. There were two slightly treacherous bridges that shook when running across them, but it was nice not to have any streets to cross. The main treacherous thing, I guess, was runners and bikers (including one child who I think belonged to a runner) who I think were just following their normal routine.
There were no medals, but there were stickers/car decals of some kind, and the shirts are very nice. Otherwise, swag was generally lacking, but at this point, I have plenty of random pens and stuff, so I didn’t miss it much. I would totally do this race again, and I hope next year I will be able to do the 10K!
