The race weather was in the high 60s, which with a gentle breeze, was very nice for the run.
The course headed almost immediately on an uphill climb to a bluff overlooking the river. From there it meandered through historic neighborhoods in the city on generally flat terrain. There was a steady downhill and a turn left out to the cemetery at around mile eight. The trails around the cemetery area were gently rolling but nothing too severe. The last half mile was downhill which provided for a nice kick to the finish line.
This race provided pace groups and frequent eight stations with water and Gatorade.
The race medal was a miniature flask replica. The race shirt was a quarter zip pullover.
This was a well produced race with friendly staff and volunteers.

The race was small and well run. The race director was super friendly and helpful. The medal is great!! The shirts are great!!! The only negative is there was no WHISKEY at the finish line, just boring beer.

I’ve done this race two years in a row and enjoyed it both times. The course reversed each year but the only difference is where the 0ne hill falls on the course. It is basically flat (but for the one hill). The scenery is great, you get some neighborhoods, greenery, a cemetery and some riverfront & downtown.
Amazing aid station support, too.

This was a good 5K race and made better by the fact that it was tied to a marathon & half the next day for an additional challenge medal. The course was nice, very scenic and mostly flat. Definitely recommended.
