Courtenay 's thoughts:

This is a fantastic race because it is on a lovely course and it is very well organized by a local running store group. It is a point-to-point course so there are some logistics involved with getting to the starting line (there is parking near the finish, with buses to the start) but it is very well organized and runs smoothly. The course has a net negative incline profile but there are some serious rolling hills during the first five miles before the course becomes downhill to flat -- until that last hill at mile nine!
There is not really an expo - easy packet pick-up at the running stores - but there is a great post-race party at the park near the finish line with a beer garden, live music, and fun stuff for kids too.

My full race recap for 2016 is here: http://got2run4me.com/2016/04/24/2016-gw-parkway-classic-race-recap/
