I had heard great things about the Red, White and Boom! and decided to add it onto my race list. Packet pickup was held the day before the race at the Medtronic office, which was kind of a hassle to get to after work. Included with registration was a pint glass and Brooks tech race shirt - both were amazing and well designed! On race day it was a little tricky to find parking near the start and once we did find parking the lot only had 1 slow machine to pay with over 20 people waiting - so make sure to leave a few minutes early. The race itself was ok but the course was just boring. I'm hoping the race organizers will add something to it to make it more fun and entertaining in the future. Towards the last few miles more people were cheering and that did help, but overall it was a boring course.
