Overall this is a great race put on be a good organization. Everything was well organized and they even offered packet pickup on race day for those coming from out of town, like me!

T-shirts/Swag - Very nice gendered tech shirts, pint glass and medal. The only think about the pint glass is that if you are picking up your packet day of, you will have to go back to your car before the race as glass isn't allowed in gear check. Oh and did I mention, three beers (wide selection), a banana and Chick-Fil-A sandwich! Yummy. Best post race goodness ever.

Aid Stations - Two well stocked aid stations but the second was very small and the crowd was so big that I just kept on going through it since I had my quick draw bottle.

Scenery - Since I have never been to Akron it was great scenery...I think the best way to get to know a city is to run it!

Expo - N/A. No expo for this one, it was packet pickup at the stadium, even if you picked up the night before.

Elevation - Not bad at all. I can remember two semi-decent hills but nothing major.

Parking - Ample parking just about .3 miles from the start line...and it's FREE!

Race Management - Top notch! Plenty of volunteers to answer questions. Highly recommend this race.
