Packet pickup was held in the main lobby of the YMCA each day the week of the race. There is no Expo but there is a silent Auction with some great options to bid on. The race is well organized with the kids 1 mile race, 5k and 10 k all starting along the same street at different times. The spacing from the kids fun run to the other two events allows parents to run with their little ones and have time to then line up for the main events.

The 2 courses are flat and fast and well marked with a measured total elevation gain of 33 ft for the 10k. It's usually a cool morning for the race making for great running conditions and the after party is very family friendly with everything from food to games for the kids. The awards ceremony is also held promptly after the main events finish.

The race as always was very well managed with over 3,800 finishers between the 5k and 10k combined.
