I thought this race was very beautiful and it offered a lot of different views of Batavia from the forest and river to the neighborhood. People set up cheer stations on their front lawns and cheered runners through the neighborhood which was fun. A short part seemed industrial and less exciting, but didn't last too long. The aid stations seemed well spaced out. My only complaint is that they started backing up the finish line at the 3 hour mark. The races I've run in the past allow for people running a 15 minute mile. I finished just over 3 hours and was disappointed to not hear my name read as I crossed the finish line. Just after I crossed the finish line, they were completely packed up. They were ready to give away more pizza and beer to the faster runners still milling about, but I wonder if some slower runners missed out on their well deserved pizza and beer. Overall a fun, scenic race, but if you're a slower runner, be aware you might miss out on having an official finish time.
