This is for a great cause. per the website the route is The flat, fast course is a combination of limestone and paved path. This was my first race I ever ran and the limestone was a bit brutal on my feet. Despite this, I did enjoy the race. The races starts at 8 so we were able to avoid the heat for a while.The trees in the park do provide a lot of shade. Water stops are available on the route. you loop in and out of the trail so you are alternating on the limestone and paved areas. The specific sex- cut shirts fit perfectly. No expo is available. some post race food and beverages. nice finisher medal and even lovelier award medals.Virtual Runner / Walker Participation is also available. you receive the shirt and medal. walk up registration on race day is available.
