What I loved: the finish was awesome I loved running up the mini hill at Montrose then finishing on the track. I liked Montrose Habor there was ample parking even though I got a ride there. I don't normally like the shirt, but they offered a hoodie. They also offered a medal.
I felt this course to be very no frills. I saw two aid stations, the start was instant, I didn't even hear the gun go off and people were running. You had the option to not get a T-Shirt. I originally clicked the donate your shirt option, then when I realized it was a hoodie, I emailed asking to change and they replied back to me instantly. For the fact that the run was on the lakefront path, it never felt narrow or overcrowded even with all the other lakefront traffic.

What I did not like: I do not like going to road runner to pick up a packet. The Store is hidden in a not easy to get to location, It also is just weird I don't understand why all there gu flavors are in one big basket unorganized. I mentioned I loved the finish on the track, Well I didn't love after I finished the line to get a bagel/ after race food. It was too long for me to wait it. It was also super windy, and chilly out. I kept seeing runners with the foil blankets but was not offered one, and unsure where to get one.
I finished very back of the pack, and it was a smaller race. I was under 11 minutes miles, but the race was small enough that about 85% of runners finished before me, meaning there was not a lot of race support for people running slower then a 10:30 mile.
Overall I liked the no frills feel and the price was amazing for a 10 miler, but in a sense you got what you paid for.
