Registration: This was available online & day of race at packet pick up. Approx $25, could purchase $10 post race brunch at local bar. Included in fee, Nike gender specific short sleeve tech tee, bib and timing chip.

Packet pickup: Free parking on side streets around park. Small race,no expo, but tables set up for bib & chip pick up. Newton tent to try on shoes. Port-o-potties available

Race/Course: On paved/asphalt city streets, lots of pot holes (due to time of year). Each corner had a volunteer or officer, which were very encouraging. No water stops. Marked with cones as streets were all still open. Finish marked with clock and timing mats, volunteers removed chips from shoes.

Post race: bananas, bagels, Dunkin Donuts, water, Gatorade & chocolate milk. Awards for overall & age group winners. After awards a raffle was held for t-shirts, gift cards, socks, etc.

Overall: Nice race, no major problems, tough distance as it's a sprint the entire time.
