Jackie Hering's thoughts:

This was my second year doing the race and I enjoyed it even more this year than last...possibly because I wasn't pregnant this year, or maybe because I won...whatever the case, it was fun!

Packet pickup at the expo the day before was nice to get you all set for a smooth race morning. There are running stores set up at the expo so you can get your race day gels, etc. right there. Also some fun sponsor swag and stations for the family to make signs.

Race morning is easy with plenty of parking around the capitol square. The 'inner square' is completely closed off to cars for the race which is nice to be able to get in your pre-race warm up, find bathrooms (at hotels around the square or porto-potties) and generally just walk around.

This year was cold so the gear check right by the start was great. They provide bags and were very organized. I even kept my cell phone in mine with no worries.

The race itself was very smooth, well marked at each mile, plenty of aid stations and lots of support out on the course. I enjoyed the variety of the course and the challenge of the hills in the last part. I'll definitely keep doing this race!
