As a local, I've seen this race grow. It's now in its fifth year and I've done both the full and half. Very well organized expo with 2015 offering Stephanie and Ben Bruce as elite pro athlete speakers. This was amazing and they were accessible and kind. The expo offers all kinds of sellers and deals, some freebies and the event and parking were smooth. The course is gorgeous and hilly, but with just the right amount of hills. The views are stunning and the finish line has crowds galore with a well run finish day event. Easy parking for spectators and worth the price. Great place to visit or vacation so make a weekend out of it
