I was a little disappointed in the expo at first as I would have like to purchase some extra gear but there wasn’t a huge selection. The QR code made bib pick-up super easy and painless and a few great speakers made for the lack of merch and vendors.
The start area was amazing (Centennial Olympic Park) with lots of room for everyone. The wave start was seamless and easy to navigate. The course itself was super challenging with lots of rolling hills. Aid stations were plentiful lining both sides of the course with amazing volunteers. Lots of great views of the city that you might not discover if you are from out of town. You finish the race running back into Centennial Olympic Park! After you collect your finisher medal you get a great disposable jacket and many great snack options. The finishing touch is the free race photos emailed to you very quickly with updates as photos are added.
