If you've run this race before you know that the course has changed a few times. This year we ran down hill, then up a super steep hill to the Kirkland corridor and then finished uphill. I know Kirkland is hilly but man, this course is a snooze fest. Besides running through the new Google campus it was not a picturesque course like the other races in the Kirkland/Juanita area. My time wasn't so bad all things considered. Overall this race isn't half bad but I would not run it again.
