The environment was fun with lots of support for a small race. The course was flat, looped course that was all pavement, which killed my knees and feet (and I don't have knee or foot problems, so I can't imagine how those who do struggled on the course). The first couple miles, 10th mile, and last two miles have a lot of support, but the rest of the time it didn't feel like I was running a race because there weren't any spectators.

The one big complaint I have with this race is that at the finish line the only refueling they offered was half a banana. No water, no gatorade, no bagels, not even a full banana. After paying the fee that I did to run, plus beating my feet against pavement for 13.1 miles, I deserved more than half a banana.

The race medals are awesome though! The race is offered on New Years Eve and New Years Day, so if you run the same race both days, you get a HUGE medal that has room for both race day medals.
