Expo: I picked up my stuff Friday afternoon for both races. In regards to the 5K, there were only about 500 runners. The packet pick up was off to the side and separate from the half and full marathon, which meant you had to find the booth first. For a race putting on a major event, I was kind of annoyed that the 5K bib was a RoadID bib compared to the half/full races which have a beach design to them. The expo itself had your standard stuff with it.

Race Day: race itself starts at 730 AM on Las Olas Ave. If you couldn't make the expo, you could pick up your bib from 6-730 before the race or register all together at the race. The race course is out and back on Las Olas Ave, so you get to see the shopping, restaurants, etc. Mile markers with timers at miles 1 and 2 (by mile 3 you could see the finish). Flat course and spot on with milage. It was starting to get warm even early in the morning (I was soaked by the time I finished). Water stop at mile 1 and 2.

Post race: you get a medal and plenty of water, bananas and oranges. Some venders were there as well that were local to the area. Awards ceremony as well.

What to work on: Wish the bibs would have had some sort of design like the half and full marathons. Also, I don't think anyone's touched the race's twitter account in at least a year- more social interaction would be good. You could do race tracking on the RaceJoy app, but it's completely dependent on the runner to enter their info and carry their phone throughout the race (really?!). The shirts are sort of on the cheap side and inconsistent. My 5K small shirt is larger than my half marathon medium shirt. What gives?
