Angie Maske-Berka's thoughts:

Small town feel, 5k which supports the Iowa City Free Medical Clinic and the University of Iowa Mobile Clinic.

Registration was available online and on race day. Cotton shirts were extra. Chip timed.

Parking available in nearby parking ramp, or about 1/4 mile away in Dental lot. Packet pick up the night before and on race day. Small expo, featuring the local running store.

Also held a kids race before the 5k

Race/course - road and sidewalk, all paved surface. A couple of steep hills. One water stop with tiny plastic cups. My Garmin had the course at 3.07. It was a little crowded, but not too bad. No mile markers, but arrows on sidewalk & signs to mark the route. One major road intersection with volunteers, no law enforcement. All other intersections /crossing had no volunteers.

Post race: bananas, bagels, oranges, coffee, water. No award ceremony, but if you found your posted time, and you won, you then could go to a table to claim your prize. Raffle prizes given to those who commented on the facebook page.

For the price, cause and challenge of the course, I would recommend this race.
