I did this race for the first time in 2013, and I will absolutely do it again! It's a very fast course, It's flat and not overcrowded. The race was relatively affordable compared to others, and the EXPO and t-shirt were great considering the price. Support during the race was awesome. Because the race is in July, it can be pretty hot, but there was plenty of water and runners were in the shade most of the time because it's downtown! I can't wait to do this one again!
