This year, I will say, I had less walkers in front of me, and that was great. But it was hot, and the aid stations all had warm water, so that wasn't pleasant. Overall the race is fun, nice course, cool medal and always enjoy seeing the elite runners pass by, that is my favorite thing. I do think they should have a smaller amount of people do this race, it stays very crowded throughout almost the whole race and I almost got run over by someone, more space would be nice
