This 5k is well managed as far as registration and measured/timing. The supporters were awesome. The race gathers all of the local clubs and talent of Long Island. The winner was 15:30 so its quality. The swag was a T-shirt and any 2 Entenmann products, pkg Thomas's English muffins, big bags of terra chips and a boatload of branded pens, cups etc. I couldn't carry it all. $25 registration and everyone walked away with $30 worth of stuff. Amazing.
The course is dead flat and runs through the area around West Islip HS. I do know 1 person accidentally ran off course as the policeman didn't direct him... :(
I'd definitely do this race again next year. They got around 625 finishers and it rained.
