I did this race to complete the Bulldog Double, having done the Drake Road Races half the Sunday before. This race is crowded. They have different divisions (recreational, competitive, and elite) so make sure you sign up for the right one. In hindsight, I should've signed up for women's competitive because it was just too hard to go fast in the recreational division. Parking is terrible because it's downtown on a work day at 6pm. They gave out good post race fuel! Would recommend for a first timer or someone who wants to do shorter races!
