Great course! Would definitely recommend. The course was too plain and serious. Weather was great too! We need more volunteers to cheer up the audience. We also need more runners…needs more marketing.

Race event and location were great. Tacos as food after event are good but wish there was another healthier food option also.

QAs a first timer, it was unclear whether what the facilities would be like for spectator and whether they would be allowed to use the shuttle. No trash cans for paper towel disposal by the portapotties after we washed our hands. Enjoyed the race. Thanks!

In the future I hope we can have 3 tacos, our group of 4 was still really hungry or maybe add in some snack options

My husband and I did the half and walked it as we do with all of the events we sign up for. It was a nice out and back route with plenty of water stations and comfort stops if you needed them. Highly recommend this for weekend warriors like us. It was fun!
