EXPO: They trap you in the expo and make you walk circles before you can exit. Lines can be long, but overall they offer a lot of vendors. I guess I should put the good things first, but I want you to be prepared before you read all the great things. There are lots of samples, and great expo prices to other local races, which I love! You also have to pick up your bib and shirt ahead of time so prepare for that, you can not do race day pick up.

Parking: You have to pay for parking at the expo, which is kind of lame because if you are just trying to pick up your bib and shirt it sucks to pay more money to get this. I have never used the shuttle here so I can not comment on that.

Race Day: They have a wave start, which I personally love. You get to pick and assign yourself to a time you plan on running. The course does get challenging and hilly towards the end, but I love it, they have a ton of cheer stations on the biggest hill. You run through a neighborhood, which could be boring, but everyone that lives on that street comes out and gives out fruit and waters. It really is a community feel at this race.
