Packet pick up was organized and easy at a local running store. There was a little traffic on race day morning so give yourself extra time to find parking and walk to the start. The course was flat and fast with the only hiccup being navigating around some of the quarter marathon walkers on the homestretch. The course went through Glacier Ridge Park which provided a little shade. Great energy at the finish line. It's August so it was a warmer race. Nice race tank and cooling towel.
