Overall this race was well organized. A long sleeve shirt was given as the race shirt where I would have preferred a short sleeve one being in FL. The half and the 10K started at the same time. Some had issues with parking, but I was there early enough that I did not. There was only one road leading to the Airforce Base and you had to park outside the base and be shuttled to the start. I did packet pickup the morning of the race and again had no issues as I was there early. The race was to start at 7 am but was delayed to 7:15. The 10K ran the same course as the half until they finished. They then had close to a mile walk to the post-race party set up near the half finish line. The reason I do not recommend this race is all 13.1 miles were in the sun on asphalt in FL. It was a hot, humid day with very little breeze so it got hot and uncomfortable running. Aid stations were about every 2 miles and could not keep up with water demands, but I do not think any ran out of water. Post race they had water, applesauce on ice, beer, and pizza. You could go in the lighthouse and a hangar to see some of the rockets. I will not be doing this one again due to the lack of shade on the course.
