Well, the race was very small, the staff and volunteers did a wonderful job. It started out with a beautiful Sunday morning and cool temps. Lots of aid stations and course support along the mighty Missouri River, and then the Floyd river going from Iowa to Nebraska, and then back to Iowa. While passing an aid station at about mile 17, I asked for Gatorade and was told it was only a water station. Well about a half a mile later, the young girl from the aid station came running up to me with a bottle of Gatorade and a cup. Those are volunteers to go way above and beyond. It was really cool starting indoors at the expo center, and then finishing indoors at the expo center with your video on the Jumbotron. Add to make it even more of the personal experience, the race Director himself was at the finish line handing out metals to all the finishers.
Enjoyed myself so much I may come back and run it as my Nebraska marathon also,
Small race, big fun
