Packet pickup/expo: Packet pickup was simple. Very short line at expo peak time and we were in and out in about 5 minutes. Same shirt, different color for each race (5k, half, full) nice quality. Expo is decent, not huge in terms of vendors (it's a lot of other races mainly) but they had a few different vendors that had fuel options and last minute necessities.

Course: flat and scenic! First few miles are residential and then it goes out to the water then back downtown for the finish. A TON of crowd support from the community. There were very few spots on the course that didn't have crowds.

Bling: each race has the same medal but different size/color. Bronze=5k silver=half and gold=full. Great quality!

Post race party: free beer for participants, lots of food options!
