This was a great fun race!
It is an untamed 5K right in the NewBedford/Fairhaven Harbor.
This race is super small, about 200-300 people. it is a long out and back course with two long straightaways. The weather was fanatic nice and cool, no wind, and the roads were slick from the rain/snow the night before. For such a small race they had a lead Cop car to guide the lead runner which was nice because the course wasn't that well marked. There was one small water station which was perfect for the size of the race. You finessed the course on a local outdoor track. They had people at every interaction so that cars could not cross the roads. Every volunteer was bright and cheerful and energetic. The race was at 8AM which was perfect so we still had time for a thanksgiving breakfast and the morning wasn't wasted waiting around for the race to start.
There was plant of street parking. There were a few steady inclines but nothing to worry about. Overall this was a fantastic race, great energy, and I will certainly do it again if i come home for the Holiday.
