State number 22 for me. I drove down on Friday before the race and stayed at a bed and breakfast about a mile from the start, which made parking easier to deal with.

Expo: decent expo. Easy to pick up bibs, shirts and swag. Also had the option to exchange T-shirts if the size was off. Pick up is Thursday/Friday. No race day pick up. Also where the pasta dinner was if you don't want to go find dinner if you're coming in from out of town. Plenty of lots around to park in. Races, hand outs, running stores/gear there for purchase. Virtual goody bag as well so make sure you don't block them!

Pre race: Good amount of corrals. Each let off 2 minutes or so between each corral. Plenty of music, pep and porta potties

The course: generally flat for the half marathon (the full is a different story). You get to see the Slugger Museum, run through historic Louisville, Churchill Downs, UofL and a whole lot of city. You finish at YUM and Louisville stadium on the River Front, where the Fest-a-ville is generally held. Ok crowd support, but rain I think kept more people off course this year in terms of spectators. A few of the water stops were behind on water, but that happens. Only thing I would change would be to have timers at all mile markers. Runner tracking is available if you want it

Post race: By the river front. More congested this year, as it's under some of the underpasses by Fest-a-ville and people were trying to stay dry if they were waiting for people. Medals and the foil sheets were easy to get too. I missed getting a banana, but bagels, peanut butter crackers, etc there. I wish bottled water and chocolate milk would have been available

T-shirts and medals: pretty daggon good and worth it if I do say so myself

Price: for the half, ballpark $70-90 I want to say
