I say emotional as there are many injured soldier who run this race. We are running side by side with them. Some in wheel chairs, some amputees, some with crutches. It is strong of them to continue to be their best. Also a reminder of how conflict is a tragedy for all. Expo is very good, finisher medals are unique and they have a Commander challenge which is a 5 km and a 21.1 km. Unique again. Yes this is an excellent race in a beautiful city. Price is good too.
