Coming from flat Texas, I understood pretty quickly that when people up north say "rolling hills" , it means that the course is definitely not flat! Lol!
You run the first part in the most historic part of the city, it's flat and it just flies by.
Second part, not so much!
I had bad weather and no many people were around so I can't really say anything about the crowd.
I wouldn't have mind more bathrooms along the course, I wasted almost ten minutes waiting in line! I was lucky enough to win a VIP entrance, so the after party with massage and changing tent was a very nice treat.
Expo is nice, but I have seen better ones.
