I've done this race for 3 years and it's always been a blast. It is serious race that attracts elites but also a fun run. Most people get into the spirit and show up in green but going over the top is encouraged too. There's usually a lot of people dressed up in costume.

The course hasn't changed and only the roads are utilized, not the seawall. That would make it hillier so prepare for that.

Instead of beer glasses, they gave out metal beer mugs this year. Loved it, I don't have a mug like this before so this is a win. The post-race food tent is great as usual with a good selection of snacks. Unfortunately, they charge for the beer that goes into your new mug. I overheard someone say though that the rates have gone up... which is too bad.

This is always a fun event. I won't hesitate to do it again. You should definitely try it!
