Packet pick-up was at Miller Park, easily accessible with free parking. There were several other races at the mini "expo" with discount codes as well as Performance Running Outfitters having a table with cold weather gear available for purchase. Feeding America was collecting canned food. The race shirt was a long-sleeved yellow cotton shirt. I like the shirt, but I wish that more races would offer an adult XS as an option.
On the morning of the race, parking was free and VERY close to the start/finish line. Course music was motivating and I could hear it well. Pace groups were self-seeded and separated by runners, runners/walkers with strollers, and walkers along with kids that could run/walk with their parents. The course was well marked and salted (lots of ice that week!) One aid station with water available. The finish line had water, cookies, and bananas available.
Participants could scan the QR code on their bibs to get their official time. Prizes for the first 20 finishers were donated by Sendik's.
