Kilometers for Cancer is a relatively new race - this was just its second year. Proceeds from the race benefit the Lymphoma Research Foundation.

T-Shirt - everyone is provided with a bright orange, tech t-shirt and a race swag bag filled with a water bottle, lanyard and shoe laces.

Parking - there was plenty of free parking at the race which took place at Log Boom Park.

Aid Stations - there were only two water stations, one at the half mile mark and another at the one mile mark. I'm not sure if they set it up this way because they thought they would have more 5k runners than 10 runners? As a 10k runner, I would have loved to have some water at mile 3 or mile 4 :)

Elevation/Scenary: This course was flat and fast - a great race to PR! The course was an out-and-back course that took place on the Burke-Gilman Trail. The course was not closed off during the race but there were not too many other runners/walker/bicyclists out on a Sunday morning and the trail was relatively empty. Lovely views of the bay and a very tree-lined path to keep you cool and comfortable during your run.

Race Management: Volunteers were super friendly and the dj played awesome 80s music! My only complaint was that the race was suppose to start at 9AM, but didn't start until 9:30AM due to photos and announcements. Also, there was no mention of an awards ceremony after the race so even though I placed in my age group, I left after the race because I didn't know about the award ceremony.

Overall: This was a nicely managed race for only being in their second year. I think it would help to post an event timeline on their website regarding start times, award ceremony, etc. Also, for such a fun, small race, they should really utilize the benefits of social media to get the word out about the race - I think they would have a much bigger turnout. Overall, I think this was a wonderful race benefiting a great organization and I am sure I will run it again next year!
