Vanessa Junkin's thoughts:

I paced the 2:45 half marathon at this race and enjoyed it! The course is scenic, and much of it is on the Gordons Pond Trail. Some of the course is on the road, but the Gordons Pond Trail is a crushed stone trail and goes through pretty areas of Cape Henlopen State Park. The race also starts and ends on the boardwalk. It's a flat course.

The expo was fine — a packet pickup and a few vendors. There is no race-day packet pickup (aside from emergency packet pickup with a fee).

This race is always very generous with swag. Runners received a shirt and pint glass, and then, upon finishing, received a finisher medal and BOCO Gear finisher hat. There are also free race photos and a post-race party at Grotto Pizza with a full buffet and beer.

Parking was easy and free at this time of year. (It was a little difficult to park for the expo and I parked a few blocks away, but I got there early race morning and it was fine.) Aid stations along the course were plentiful.

The race was well-organized. The only thing was that one mile marker was picked up early, which made pacing slightly more difficult, but it wasn't too big of a deal. Everything went smoothly and I hope to pace this race again next year!
