Hands down my all time favorite race! I've run the half and the full multiple times.
The expo meets your standard needs and is open for two days. I've never had an issue parking (or leaving after the race). The corrals and the wave start seem to prevent overcrowding. Although this year I thought the course was extremely congested even with the wide roads. The pacers are superb. The course is inspirational with all of the Nationwide Children's Hospital. Lots of entertainment and spectators along the course. Plenty of aid stations too. Probably more than you need. It's mainly a flat course and always pretty fast to race. The finish line is a good post-race event party, with plenty of local places to go to if you need a warm space afterwards. It's my annual must run.
