Expo-
The pick-up location for the bibs was Road Runner Sports in Berkley. The store was very small. I was hoping for a store with a larger selection of running gear. Also, Berkley seemed further away that I would have liked to travel. There are probably and better sporting stores than Berkley.

Swag-
I got a cotton shirt, a magazine, and several samples. There was the option to upgrade to a technical shirt, but I just went with the cotton one. The backs of the shirts were great! It was a reminder that this would be the last race of the year.

Course-
The course was fairly flat, trail, not paved. It looped around the Quarry Lakes in Fremont.

Aid Stations-
There was one water station for the 5K race. I thought it was plenty for the distance we were doing. The people at the aid station were prepared with cups in hand. Now that's what I like to see. I don't want to have to slow down;

Atmosphere-
The atmosphere was great! Plenty of music being blasted by the speakers. Families and friends in groups were there together either racing or supporting a racer. I did see dogs on the trail even though the website said it was prohibited. There was no one actually paying attention to that.

Post-race-
I didn't stay very long after the race was done. Some people did. We picked up our jackets and left. It was an easy stroll to the car.
