This was a well organized, untimed fun run. Road Runner Sports was a bit crowded for bib pickup but still progressed smoothly and quickly. Traffic and parking might have been a bit challenging if driving, but the location is generally easy to get to.

About 15 minutes before start time, everyone walked as a group to the start line at Green Lake. The majority of runners and walkers were wearing lights or costumes. There was no chip or clock timing, just 1 loop around Green Lake for the "5Kish" and 2 for the "10Kish" (the actual distance is 2.8 mi per loop). The path was still open for use, so there was some maneuvering around people walking the opposite direction. The path was crowded for the first mile or so of the first loop, then spread out. Not many continued on for the second loop. The atmosphere was festive, the medal was great. It's a good option if you're looking for a no-pressure, fun event.
