I ran the 15k this year. This was my first Gasparilla experience. 5 out of 5. I will do it again. Expo was large and interactive. Got to see some nice medal from other future races in Florida. The aid stations were wonderful. Course scenery was great and neighborhood involvement was a 10. They even had overhead water sprinklers! As a back of the pack runner, it took me 2 hours to finish and this was so appreciated. I purchased a parking ticket ahead of time, that was a nice option. At the finish they had diet coke that was a first for me and I so enjoyed that. Now I incorporate that as my post race drink. I will run this race again for sure. As a local, I shy away from big races but this will be my new annual tradition race.
