I can this race with my running club, it was our goal race.
The Expo was fairly easy to get to and there was a designated parking garage with an expo rate. I parked easily and had some Starbucks while I waited for my friend to show up.
The Expo had a lot of vendors. There was a fun booth to make a 360' video with props that we had fun with. The bib pickup was easy and they had markers so you could write your name on them. The shirts were also easy to pickup. I'm wasn't a fan of the shirt, but they had nice merch so I bought one there.
Lots of vendors with giveaways, race ideas, gear, photo ops etc. My swag bag was overflowing!
Race morning we parked easily and walked a short distance to the race start. It was cold! We started on time, and the half and full runners ran together for the first 11 or 12 miles.
The course was well marked, safe, and beautiful. Definitely hilly though!
The finish was well run. They had a background for photos, food and drinks, and a huge bottle of chocolate milk. A DJ was playing music and there was plenty of places lounge around and wait.
They are very strict about the time limit and will take down the finish line right when they say they will.
