This is a very fun race to run mostly because of the lively atmosphere, especially if you like a family friendly atmosphere. Whole Foods and a couple of Northern California breweries take part in the expo and post race party where you get fruit, a commemorative glass, and a free beer or root beer. The run itself is along the park and rec's trails and although there are a couple of spots where you are running towards faster runners, overall it is an easy and fun run. Also, plenty of strollers and dogs in the race!
