To be fair, I'm a trail runner. But I do participate in road races throughout the year for training and experience.
PROS:
*Temps: It was between 45-50F, which is perfect running weather. I was fine in a tank and running skirt. I could have used gloves towards the end but most of us did fine without.
*Loops: You have your grab bag, water bottle(s) and port-a-potties with each lap. You're never far from your gear.
*Port-a-potties: They have total of 4, with 2 at each end of the ~400 meter track.
*Lap counts: I thought I'd hate it but I did enjoy seeing the number go down. I focused on 10 at a time. Total laps come to 95. They have 2 large screens and also a smaller screen at the mat so you can immediately see how many laps you have completed so far.

CONS:
*Tracks: 3 open ---> inner (fast), middle (passing), outer ("slow runners", as they called us). This meant longer distance for runners who didn't run 3:30 or faster. Many of us stuck to the middle lane, moving as needed for others. I understand there needs to be some type of system but it seemed to penalize the "slow runners".
*No headphone: They did play music throughout the day, with requests from runners, but I hate being subjected to other peoples' music preferences. I wanted to listen to my music/podcast/audiobook.
*Course: Yes, it's a track so it will be flat, hard surface. Some people love this - I prefer elevation changes.

SWAG: long sleeve, dri-tech shirt.
REFRESHMENTS: chocolate milk, coffee, bagels, crackers, cliff bars and this year, they had carrot cake to celebrate a runner's 100th marathon achievement.

All in all, it wasn't a bad race. But it was definitely boring. I've done a few track races before (12 hour overnights) so I figured this would be a fun experience. I think having my own music to zone out to would have been great.
