Fairly small, local type run. Parking can be difficult so arrive early. Start was pretty much on time. All events started together. Small enough numbers to not really matter but a larger turnout could be problematic. Lots of different paces for different distances all along one fairly narrow pathway with active traffic.
Flat course except for a significant pair of hills from 4.3-7. Also a steep downhill from 7-8. The final miles are through a park. Could use better markings as there are lots of turns.
Overall a fun run. Lots of age group awards. A PR day for me despite the hills.

Very flat course. It can be a bit crowded but the course covers the entire roadway so plenty of room to maneuver. Well organized start, plenty of PP’s, well stocked water stations with friendly volunteers. The crowd supports most of the course despite wet conditions. My wife was able to see me easily at a couple of locations though she couldn’t get near the finish line.

This is a well run event. Good parking, perfect weather (no wind), flat and fast course. Friendly runners and excellent support at the aid stations. You do share quite a bit of the course with the slow half and full marathoners. Not a problem if you pay attention.

Beautiful course and awesome small town feel. Great cause and passionate organizers. The luau was great fun afterwards. I also enjoyed the Saturday start. That said, this run is at 3,500 feet. It’s a BQ’r but near impossible for someone from sea level. Pretty course that winds around high country meadow. Be ready for the hills at 23. Accomodations can be interesting. This is of the beaten path. The

Small and well organized run. Great scenery. Can be cold and windy or just right. This race was super. Very twisty road so one needs to pay attention if looking for a PR. Double loop is nice for spectators. A bit uphill coming back on the last loop. Few aid stations so helpful to carry fluids. Overall a very nice race run by people that get it right. Get your accomodations early as choices are few and far away from the start.

Be prepared for the hills, especially in the second half. Take it easy on the first half. Be prepared for cold and fog. Lots of turns so pay attention to running the tangents.
