James Dunbar's thoughts:

This race features 3 different distances of 1 mile, 5k, and 10 k, all put on by Coastal Race Productions. As usual, CRP does a great job with this one. Super well organized, no issues picking up your bib the morning of the race, plenty of Porta Johns and free parking all over.

This race draws a decent local crowd (maybe 1k total), with a few out of towners thrown in as well since it's on Thanksgiving weekend. Medals are HUGE of course, especially if you do the 10k. You can sign up to do all three races and of course get rewarded with a bonus medal for finishing all 3 and it is the largest medal I've ever seen! The 10k goes off first, followed by the 5k over an hour later, then the 1 mile fun run after that.

They have a staff photographer that attempts to take individual pics of every single runner and then they post them on FB later that day or the following day. Pics are usually pretty good too.

Post race grub/hydration is basically water, coffee, bananas, and pumpkin pie. Most people weren't eating the pie so you could get as many slices to eat for yourself as you wanted (self-serve).

T-shirt giveaway is a smooth poly-cotton blender that's decent enough to wear around town if you like.

Not a ton of crowd support here and you do run through the local neighborhood a bit, so the scenery is nothing special if you're all about doing nothing but races with killer scenery.

CRP throws discount codes out to their email followers several times a year so if you're looking to save some bucks, just hit up their website and follow along. www.coastalraceproductions.com
