Melinda Edgerton's thoughts:

This fun 5K was a cold one, with a thin layer of snow on the ground. The race is in a nice location, with views of the South Platte River and mostly on trails (there was one slightly icy parking lot to traverse). The price is excellent- there is no reason NOT to run this one!

The race was well-organized- the expo was surprisingly great for such a cold morning, with a nice showing of vendors before, during, and after the race. They held a kid's race at the start that was FREE (that's not so common these days), and also free were the professional race photos. Note: they don't touch up frozen-in place half smiles. You get what you get. The race director and volunteers were cheerful and didn't seem to notice the temperature.

The port-a-pots were at the just-enough level, so no complaints there. The post-race snacks were excellent- bagels, muffins, chocolate milk, cookies, everything you could want. Again, well-organized volunteers.

For swag you get a soft race tee and a Santa hat (I appreciated the extra head insulation), and you can pick up the packet before race day!

This race is everything you want in an affordable local race with easy parking, family atmosphere, and cheerful hosts!
