I ran this race in 2018. It's a smaller local race. I stayed downtown, and easily walked to the start line. The walk back to hotel was a little farther. This is a very sunny road race, not a lot of shade. The fire department turned on one of their hoses and it was a delight to run through. They were also giving out hugs. The finish line provided snacks and water, and I chose to eat in town after the race. Really great tacos at the place close to the hotel.
