All in all I was super happy with this race, would recommend it and run it again in the future. I know this was the first year so there were bound to be some kinks, even though the local Fleet Feet put on the race, it's seemingly hard to hit a home run first time out. The course was nice and scenic, however my Strava had me at about 3.5 miles. I know courses aren't always perfectly mapped, I always tend to run over or under but only by .1 miles, that was a bit more than expected.

I would also have like the start and finish line to be a bit better gated or roped off. It was difficult starting and finishing with others families all around, standing right on the course with their loved ones. Also, after the race there wasn't a clear direction we were to go in to receive our medals. Thankfully I found a lady just standing around holding some, not even making it known she had them. By the time my Mom finished we couldn't find any to come to hear they had ran out. The race had over 1,000 registrants, however my mom finished right in the middle of the pack and didn't receive a medal, I feel like they should have ordered a little bit more as only half of the runners/walkers got medals.

I was super happy with the before and after party set up area, the booths were nicely set up and appropriately spaced apart to where it never felt like we were at all crowded. The announcements were nice and clear as well, also having some retired hockey players there taking pictures and signing autographs was awesome!! My Dad was thrilled to meet some players he idolized growing up. All around the event was very family friendly and I feel that with the tweak of a few minor things it could run a lot smoother and be that much better!!!
