Olivia 's thoughts:

This was my first time racing this distance and this event. The swag totally rules - the 1/4 zip, long sleeve hoodie is going to be tough to beat. It was perfect for our Arizona winters. The expo was a good size, not too big and not too small. The chocolate samples make the expo even sweeter! Make sure that you check the size of the "goodie bag" (your hoodie) because sizes ran a little small. I was a little bummed that the boys got blue lined hoodies and the girls got purple, I love blue! I also thought that the 5k runners would have a different goodie bag, but it's the same hoodie. Be sure to look out for ambassador codes for extras in your goodie bag. I found one for a travel mug and it's held up nicely for my hubby's daily use!

Race day there was plenty of parking at the Salt River Fields and the adjoining shopping center. Since my brother was running the 5k, we were there pretty early. There were a ton of port a potties! No shortage and really quick moving lines.

It's the best time of the year for running in AZ, made even better with sweet treats waiting for you at the finish line!
