Joe G's thoughts:

To forewarn you, this is not just a 5k, it contains a food challenge! Mid 5k, you must eat a half pound of bacon!
There is a non bacon challenge if you are interested, but the iron pigs and race are all about the bacon.

Scenery: majority of the race is parking lot. but if you love bacon and baseball, that is fine.

Pre race: able to walk around the stadium. A dj, mascot, vendors, a great baseball and bacon crowd. A couple runners dressed as bacon.

Race: starts fast/flat and then down a steep hill, turn around, and up that steep hill! Back and forth in the parking lot. Mid way in front of the stadium.

Pause, eat a half pound of bacon! Some crunchy, some a bit fatty, but all delicious. No water to help with the bacon challenge. Hands get greasy, could use napkins. There are a few employees watching to make sure no one cheats on the challenge, you must show your empty container before taking off.

Resume the race! Remainder of the race is down and around the parking lot. cramping up? No, that's just your arteries Lol. Down around the backside of the stadium, through the stadium, around the warning track. Finishes just before home plate.

Post race: party overlooking the baseball field.

Swag: t shirt that has bacon scratch n sniff! bacon mid race, and a beer after!
Elevation: there is a steep hill of about a 1/4 mi. Remainder of the race is slight up and downs.
Parking: it's a stadium, more than ample
Aid: adequate water for a 5k
