This race is very well put on and organized for the amount of participants. The packet pickup is quick and expo has a lot of vendors. Your sure to find something there you can't go without. The corrals work nice for the start of the race and I enjoy the course. The city really turns out and supports this race which is a big plus in my book. The after party is full of food and drinks and is held in City Park, a very spacious beautiful park. The busses take you back to the starting line pretty quickly. I've done this race twice and already signed up for 2016.
