The logistics for this race were terrible! For some reason, the route was changed from the previous year, which meant a change to the start/finish area. In 2018, the expo and start/finish line area were all in one place, making it perfect for runners. Especially those like me, who are traveling to the race. In 2019, the race moved, but the expo stayed in the same place, so we were forced to travel to get our race kits! Also, they didn’t get our race shirts in time so we couldn’t get them until after the race! This was a problem for me because I was planning ( like a lot of runners) to wear my shirt for the race! So, I was forced to buy a top at the expo! As far as the race, the course was not my favorite! Lots of freeway miles (some underground), back allies, and deserted city streets in outlying areas! Then, at the end of the race a HUGE HILL, and an extremely steep downhill like none I’ve ever experienced! Runners complained more about the downhill than the uphill! After that, the finish was uphill, as well! The finish line festival was typical RnR, with live music, beer, water, Gatorade and snacks. And, when we finally got our shirts they were a different color than advertised and they ran out of some sizes!
