This was definitely a small hometown race in Vero Beach Florida; maybe 100-125 people, however it was a bit of a rainy day so that might have played into the turnout. The theme of this race is awesome and it meant free bagels and cream cheese courtesy of Brooklyn water bagel at the end, as well as water and some fresh Florida Orange juice from a local Grove. As far as swag goes, I personally would have paid an additional $5 if it meant I could get a medal. They only had medals for winners in the various age categories, which were very nice. I will say that the T shirt was a nice quality and fit true to size. I can also appreciate that every participant received a raffle ticket for 3 gift bags. The other positive is that parking was very convenient right at a state park with beach access. This also meant covered areas with picnic tables for registration and for the food as well as real bathrooms!! They did have a miss with the course itself. I imagine it was easier this way, but we just went through the nearby neighborhood. If you're going to be that close to the beach where it was just a simple walk across the wooden boardwalk to the Sand why not make it a beach race? I still recommend it.
