This race is massive, but well managed. You have to come in a day early for packet pick-up, which when you realize how many people are running, that makes total sense.

The course is pretty decent and then there are hills that start around mile 10, so be ready for that! The weather this time of year is notoriously unpredictable and usually ends up being awful for really racing hard.

This is the type of race that you’ll want to do with a friend and make it a fun weekend. The post-race festivities are great and right in the middle of downtown, so you have easy access to brunch/lunch spots after finishing!
