This race exceeded expectations. The beautiful course winds through the Rock Creek park system and is nearly 100% in wooded, shady areas. The net downhill course with occasional rollers was perfect for a fast time. The post-race food was plentiful, hot, and tasty, and the swag (a technical hat, long-sleeve tech tee, and medal) were all great. Especially on a day with sub-par weather conditions (pouring rain the entire race), I was impressed with the energy and enthusiasm of race volunteers and organizers. The aid stations were well-stocked with both Gatorade and water (and port-o-pots!) every two miles. I would highly recommend this event, and despite the heavy rain (or perhaps because of?) I had an absolute ball. Thank you for a great experience!
