All Community Events do a great job putting this race together. I am always surprise by how many High Schools students they find and secure as volunteers for the race. They are so excited to being there and helping runners with information, its addictive. Little do they know that the energy is well appreciated before the race cause we all can make good use of it.

The race through the lakefront is as a joy to run. Great sunny day with lots of participants at the start line for both distances. Aid station volunteers seemed uneventful in greeting runners as they pass by throughout the race. The northern portion of the race heading to the Foster turnaround is a strange zone where beach goers are wondering why their path is disrupted by a bunch of runners. There are more spectators of wonder minding their own business than folks cheering. Be prepared for a lonely run through that zone and rely either on your pacer to carry you through for the occasional runner on the course.

Overall great race to kick off the spring running season.
