Kim Prytherch's thoughts:

Email communication was good, an email was sent out a few days before the race with all information about parking, etc.
Parking was a little rough if you don't know the area. There were lots of parking garages charging 6 to 12 dollars but we found out that just a couple blocks away there were spaces on the street that were free on weekends!
I didn't go to early pickup, so we arrived an hour early and easily picked up the awesome long sleeved shirt and beer glass, plus my bib was personalized with my name and it was Giants blue with the New York Giants printed on it. A very cool touch that made my morning.
there were tons of porta potties at the start and although the line was long it moved quickly.
The start was in front of the stadium, which was great for pics and a real exciting start area for football fans. The course was a large hockey stick shape (so funny) around the area of the stadium. The course was safe and well marked and the police kept everyone safe.
The race was fun. Everyone was wearing jerseys and other team gear and there was lots of ribbing between fans of rival teams.
It was hilly. For real, people. I kind of wanted to die a few times.
Water at mile 2 only. it was super cold out so I didn't really care, if it were hot out I would be mad, but it made sense for the weather.
I don't remember seeing mile markers at every mile but there was one at mile 3, so I may have just missed the others.
We finished where we started, and the finish line said touchdown. I love this! A volunteer immediately gave me water and then another gave me the cool medal. There was a food table and we had choices of bananas, fruit snacks, crackers, and bagels. There was plenty left for us back of the pack runners.
I will definitely be doing this race again and again. It was probably the most fun I've had in awhile at a short distance race!
