Overall
For my second Ambleside Mile, I was quite satisfied with the whole experience. No issues whatsoever. I was very pleased to be able to offer an entry giveaway to the race. Enjoyed the whole experience...short as it was!

Packet pickup/expo
Although pickup was available on Friday, I took advantage of morning-of pickup. Quick and simple. They used ankle bands as timing chips, which briefly made me feel like Martha Stewart, but the feeling passed.

T-shirt/Swag
T-shirt is a simple cotton affair from Gildan. I'll likely use it for gym workouts rather than running. I love that - for a race of this distance - we get a medal!

Course
Downhill at the beginning, then flat. Quick and straightforward. With the wide corners, I wonder about the course measurement...but obviously it isn't a track run (nor an Olympic run!), so I'm hardly fussed.

Aid Stations
It's one mile. No aid stations. There was water, juice and bananas at the finish line. Also, some David's Tea (iced, of course!).

Race Management
Same management as my beloved West Van Run. Professional. On top of things. No issues that I can think of. Good social media presence and response!
