I decided to do this race based on reviews from friends from the past that have done it. After I signed up, I contacted the race organizer because I was hoping to get an extra medal for the child I Run 4 through the I Run 4 organization. They were so accomodating. Told me to find them at the end of the race.
When I got to the expo I was pleased with the swag you could buy. It was huge. They had plenty of sizes. I like to collect race jackets from each race that I do. I was pleased with the one I got at this race. It is by far my most favorite.

Getting to the race and navigating traffic was difficult as I stayed at my cousins house. If I had planned better I would have stayed closer to the race.

The course was great. The day was hot and thankfully at the expo I got extra gels and hydrated. I loved the race. Running along the area where all of the canoes are was just beautiful. After the race I was able to enjoy a cold one while watching a concert. The headliner was awesome!!! I would recommend this race to anyone
