This is a cute little small race to motivate people to stay in shape through winter. There is a race in December, January and February. You can sign up for all 3 or just 1. It is an out and back course with 1 aid station that you hit twice, it just has water but its only a 5k so i dont think a sports drink is necessary. The swag is a long sleeve t-shirt which is a nice change and the post race food is GREAT! They had einstien bagel breakfast sandwiches! I was really impressed with it.
