Samantha Andrews's thoughts:

This was my second year running this race. Last year was the first time DIVAS was held in Peachtree City. My review is very similar to my experience last year.

Expo
This is my third DIVAS race and I am not impressed with their expos. For the type of race that is, I wish the expo was huge and grand with many products geared toward women. I think there are many missed opportunities with the expo. The expos are small and held at the local community center. All was not lost this year because I bought a cute pair of tights to run in the race.

Parking/transportation
Just like last year, we parked off site and we took shuttles to the race. This year they had charter buses and they were nice.

Race
The course for this year was the same as last year. Peachtree is nice suburb in southwest ATL. The terrain is relatively flat compared to other areas in the city. We ran on the streets and on the trails in the area. While the course was fine, I do not like running in the tunnels. Most of the tunnels are dark and I was concerned about falling. Overall all the course is a lot easier than other races in ATL, but there is a trade off in the lack of things to see. The race ends on hill, which feel like a cruel joke after running on a relatively flat course.

Crowd Support
The crowed support was so-so. Some places had many people cheering and some had none. The support picked up at the end of the race.

Swag
DIVAS does not disappoint with the medals, boas, and tiaras. The race does a great job with race swag.

Overall: I like the DIVAS races and while I may not run Peachtree City next year, I plan to run in another city.
