I signed up for the challenge, one mile on the sand on Saturday and half on Sunday. hermine had other plans and they had to cancel the mile. all swag was still given out and the expo was huge! I ran the mile in the hotel to earn the first medal.
the expo was huge as usual, and Brooks is always a fun visit. I got a great tank and some new kicks.
race morning there was very little traffic but the signs were a little misleading and we made a wrong turn. a volunteer freaked out us and smacked our car with his hand. yikes!
it was perfect weather and the course was mostly flat. well marked, and we got a glimpse of the ocean at the start and finish. running through the barracks was amazing and soldiers weremig high fiving us as we ran by! they also gave us orange slices. the spectators were handing out candy, ice pops, water, frozen grapes. it was amazing!
the finish was at the beach, and there was tons of food, drinks, chocolate milk. I got my medal and myou bonus bling with no issues, and there was music and shops open.
only cons were that they couldn't put up the signs or the Brooks guitar, but that was Hermine's fault, not RnR.
communication was amazing through out the weekend.
I would definitely run this race again!
