You know a run is going to be rad when it also includes a skateboard race. The skateboard race started first, then, after a warm up to music and cheers, the runners followed them along the seawall at Stanley Park. Many of them were wearing fun costumes, including some very fast runners! It was fun and surprising to get passed by an armless Shark, though also a bit tough on the ego. The volunteers were perfectly spread out throughout the course and very supportive. Once the race over, the choices of snacks to recover was diverse and delicious. The after-party included a DJ with amazing tastes in music, beers, randomly drawn prizes all in a friendly pub-like atmosphere. I did not win anything, but I did not care because I was having so much fun.
