Cool medal and shirt to remember the National Championship! The course was good- a lot of rolling hills, but there were pot holes to watch out for. Would definitely run again! I do wish that they had photos. I saw photographers, but there are no photos available on the website.

The race was held in Atlanta, GA and will move to the championship city next year. Atlanta Track Club did a fantastic job with this event. Bib pickup was easy and at the same area as the CFP Fan Fest. The race shirt was excellent material and had cool branding. The 10K course ran through downtown Atlanta and the Georgia Tech area. The course was nice and hilly, my only suggestion would be to run through the Georgia Tech Football stadium if it were possible. I PR’d both 5K and 10K times. Comparing the 2025 medal to 2024 it is a bit disappointing as 2024’s seemed more personal to the host city than this years’. However, the event was well run with some of the nicest volunteers I have encountered; I will definitely attempt to run more Atlanta Track Club events.

I believe this race is hosted each year in conjunction with the College Football Playoff? This year the game was at Levi Stadium so the race was in downtown San Jose. Race production was good: easy packet pick up, well marked course, one aid station, water and bananas at the finish. Course: Flat. Scenery in downtown SJ not great. Swag: Race entry included a couple of tickets to the College Football Playoff expo which I did not have time to attend, as well as a short sleeve tech shirt and a finisher medal. I ran this race because the organization supports teachers, and because it was close to home. Overall a good experience – especially since I got a new PR!
