Jessica 's thoughts:

Registration: Easy online registration, $55 for a half with isn't too bad. I was able to Google and find a coupon for $5 which was a nice little bonus. There was no day-of race registration.

Expo: Packet/shirt pickup at the park where the start line was the day before the race. No frills, no lines.

Photos: Free and posted the same day to Facebook. Had to go through all of them to find/tag but it was nice that they were free.

Course: 1 way from Osteen to Debary on pancake flat paved trails. All but 3 miles was shaded which was awesome which was nice because it was a scorching Florida summer day, even at 6:30 AM.

Aid stations: 12 on course all with water and Gatorade. Some had gel, frozen pickle juice, candy, and/or pretzels which was nice.

Medal/swag: Loved the medal! The shirt was a nice tech shirt, although it was banana yellow.

Food: They had amazing BBQ and free beer which was so refreshing! The lines weren't terrible either.

Probably my favorite part was crossing the finish line and they handed you a washcloth soaked in ice water. It was the most refreshing, amazing thing ever.

Parking got 3 stars because there was a shuttle to take you from the finish back to the start line. However there was a 30 minute wait and the buses were packed full of sweaty runners with no air conditioning.
