Samantha Roderigues's thoughts:

For swag you got an awesome neon blue long sleeve technical t-shirt, socks, and a finisher medal! They also give free race photos!!

They had aid stations every two miles-ish with both water and Gatorade. They also had one at about the half way point with a few types of fuel.

The course went through many different types of scenery. A winding wooded road toward the beginning, along the highway/main road for about a mile, through mansions in the countryside/along the water, and actually running along the water.

For being labeled as a flat course it seemed to be on a slight incline a decent amount, but I also was having a bad day so it may just have seemed harder than it was.

There seemed to be plenty of parking at the actual beach and along the beach right near the start for free.

Packet pick up as well as the whole race was well run. They blocked off a few major intersections for the race and they were traffic controlled really well.

Overall it was a fun race, just not my day. Some bonuses: They had 1/2 mile markers as well as the usual mile markers. They announced your name as you crossed the finish! At 2-3 points you loop back past where you came from and can see/cheer on friends running at a different pace than you.
