This being my first race ever, I wasn't really sure what to expect. This was the race that made me fall in love with the thrill of the run. Looking back now, I understand what an expo is supposed to look like, what good SWAG is, and how races are supposed to be set up. This race is an awesome race for the local community. It's not too big, not too small, and runs throughout Evansville, Indiana. You get changes in neighborhoods, parks, and you finish along the Ohio River, which is really pretty. There were plenty of aid stations and plenty of pre race parking that is free along city streets. The expo is extremely limited and more of a check in for your shirt type scenario. That being said, they have this tradition where they give you a 5 gallon bucket full of goodies, your race bib, and t shirt. What's really cool is the bucket has the race logo and year on the side, so all of that makes up for where the expo lacks. If you're looking for a fun smaller race, this is a really good choice. Especially if you're new to running!
