Great local race. They now have a North and South end that helps with the crowds (North a little more hills than South). Last time I ran this I was late and started and the very back but within the first miles I was able to make it around a lot of people and to open running. Great event and post race party. This is true running in Florida for us which is along the pretty rivers in our area. But make sure to be early or you will be starting in the back like me.
