The expo is small, but nice and still some shopping to do, got my number quickly and easily also there is plenty of parking, you should have no issue with that. The city of Madison is really easy to walk around and on Saturday there was a farmers market, so after getting my bib I went and hung out there.

Race morning, parking, again, easy, plenty of garages to choose from. The start line is easy to find and plenty of portopotties. Bag check was quick and easy then getting into the start corral was easy. The course itself is really nice, mostly road running, but the end is on a bike trail. The roads are not all closed, but I always felt safe, plenty of volunteers and plenty of police officers to make sure you could run safely and people could still get around the city. We ran through the aboratorium which was really nice and kinda peaceful, though the hill when you got of it, was HUGE, so beware of that. There was plenty of water stations and tons of volunteers to hand you cups, The whole course is quite nice and only the beginning was crowded.

Overall this is a really well run race, and I would recommend it for a great way to see Madison.
