It was a cold race day at about 18 degrees but otherwise a beautiful day. Start and finish are in the same exact spot which is always convenient. Plenty of parking over at the community pool which is a few hundred yards away from the start. The course was a nice one. Very scenic. Mostly flat but had a nice steep long incline about 1.75 miles into the race. You get a pretty good stretch to the finish which is nice. Plenty of people cheering you on. Good spread after the race. Mostly all runners were in green. The only real issue was way too many walkers were upfront at the start of the race. They don't realize it's a little dangerous when you have runners who all of the sudden have to put on the brakes so no one gets hurt. That's the issue with a bunch of 5Ks, so not just on this one. Overall this is a fun one. You're right in Morristown too, so plenty to do after the race. I’ll definitely consider running this race again next year. The organizers did a really nice job with it and it was an enjoyable course.
