I ran the 15k as part of the Amber Challenge (15K, 5K and Half Marathon). It's the first race on Saturday of race weekend. For the challenge itself, you get only 1 bib (so don't lose it!), but 3 shirts, a special jacket, a medal for each race and a medal for completing the challenge.

The expo: standard expo, has your typical running stores, other races, packet pick up etc. Under Armour is a main sponser, they had a booth to buy gear (I was expecting maybe a little more?). Pretty easy to navigate

Parking: Came from out of town and stayed at the Hilton Downtown Tampa- can't say a word about parking good or bad

Race day: easy to get to the start, but not the easiest to get into the corrals. Feel like they need to do something with more space or a little more spread out. Course is essentially flat, with really only 1 hill before you get onto Bayshore Blvd. The aid stations were odd- some seemed really close together, especially the second half, but on the way out, seemed like some weren't set up? Not sure how that was suppose to work. Good stations with people, and other parts of the course that let you be to yourself.
Pacers are there to help you out if you need it. Good views of the water, which was nice to see. Roads were well kept overall.

Post race: things were kept moving, which was nice. After the finish, you were handed water, then a cold washcloth, which felt good. Some gatorade was there. Difficult to find the post race food area if you weren't familiar with the area. There was a special tent for if you were running one of the challenges, so I was able to get a banana. Also, they had a medal check for the 15K medal if you were also running the 5K. Or be like me and go check it with your checked bag so you don't forget it.

Fun race overall to go do!
