Great experience.
This race was very well organized and a great way to start the holiday. The course was beautiful.
A Pleasant Surprise!
Course was nice & had quite a bit of shade. Was organized well. An earlier start like 7 or 7:15am in the future would be nice to beat the heat. Looking forward to next year!
My first race
This was my first time ever participating in a race. I ran while in my second trimester of pregnancy and while having a disability called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. (EDS) is a group of disorders that affect connective tissues supporting the skin, bones, blood vessels, and many other organs and tissues. I’m happy to have completed this race!
