The double takes place over 12/31 and 1/1 each year. People literally fly in from Europe to run it. This year was the first "double double" (a 5k each day followed by a half or full marathon each day). I just took the double option--two marathons is plenty for me!

The folks at this race are awesome. It is a low-frills, no crazy expo, kind of race. Since these races, I've had people who saw me (and my orange flower) come and say hi at two other races. Super nice! I also ran with some people I met at these races.

Weather aside--we got rain on 1/1 this year which was not fun--I'd recommend these for anyone trying a back-to-back.
