Everyone knows about the big, popular races, but i joined Bibrave to help spread the word about great smaller races like this one. It's a small race (a few hundred people) that runs across the famous Tacoma Narrows Bridge and through surrounding neighborhoods and parks. The course is mainly on paved bike paths and neighborhood streets, but has a stretch on gravel and dirt paths through a park. The race organization is excellent and it's everything you could want from a small race like this. Swag was a small but nice medal and nice, customizable long sleeve tech shirt. There's no expo. Race starts and ends at the tiny Tacoma Narrows Airport, which is interesting, and home to a restaurant that served a nice breakfast buffet and beer garden for runners right after the race. Overall, it's a great little gem of a race that I'd highly recommend to anyone looking for something like that.
