This is my fourth year doing this race because I love it so much!

This series always takes amazing photos and they're free! You also always get a nice technical t-shirt and a finishers medal! If you do all of the series, your individual race medals combine to make one mega medal! This year they also gave some neat gift certificates in the swag bag!

The aid stations are about every two miles and half Gatorade and water. I believe some have fuel (I just bring my own so I don't know for sure). The volunteers working them are also always super nice!

The course scenery is my favorite! I love running by the water! Even the parts not along the water are through the beautiful mansions!

I really enjoy the rolling hills of this course. I think they keep it interesting without being too overly difficult. I always find the course flies by!

Last year as a Rhode Master (if you do a certain amount of the series) I was able to basically park AT the start line. This year I had to park in normal parking, which is in separate lots further from the line. The lot was easy to find, with plenty of space, and while I'm sure you could easily just walk/jog to the start, they also offer shuttles to get you there.

Having done so many races with Rhode Races I would say they are really well managed and want everyone to have a great time!
