This was my first time getting to run this race despite having interest in it for several years now. It always fell on a date in July when I was heading off on vacation, but this year my vacation was a week later so I was able to participate in the run. I signed up with a group so I wasn't the one who picked up the shirts/packets so I cannot comment on the quality of the expo or pickup process. I also didn't directly receive the emails, etc from race management but having dealt with the Brewers racing staff before, I would assume they were informative and prompt.

As for the race itself, it was a blast. It was a nice simple course, some slight elevations along the way but nothing too strenuous on the body. You run along the streets surrounding the Brewers' stadium, Miller Park and you also get to take a lap around the warning track during the run, so that was fun. There are two aid stations on the course, both serving water but I was disappointed in the fact that there wasn't water being handed out at the finish line. Your bib provided a ticket for water, which is fine, but the tent to pick up the water was a decent distance away from the finish line. Not optimal if you cross and then want to cheer on friends that are still racing. There is no medal for the race but you get a sweet shirt (as my picture will show), a free beer (Miller Light), a free brat (plus Chik-fil-a was handing out sandwiches) and a voucher for a free Brewers ticket. So there is some good swag involved. And after the race there was a band jamming away to lighten the mood and keep everyone in a happy mood. And after you're done drinking/eating/listening you can head back to your car, which is conveniently located in the Brewers parking lot.

It really is a fun race, a simple 5K with views along the course, beer at the end and a chance to trot along a major league baseball field. Fun all the way around!
