Being from Cleveland, this was a fun race to return "home" for. The race Expo/packet pick-up was at the Rock Hall, which was neat - though small. Most of the vendors were outside. I loved the portion of the course that went down MLK Boulevard through the cultural gardens, though minimal crowd interaction for most of the race (besides the finish line!). The finish line was a party (food party, for sure) and such a cool experience; Jimmy John's was even handing out sandwiches! A free ticket for admission to the Rock Hall was in the swag bag, which was a nice perk of running this race and visiting the city for the weekend.
One snafu with an intersection not being blocked off (holy, scary!), which the police officer at the next intersection quickly dispatched for help there when we informed her.
