This race is one of the best in the area for a small town, great vibe feel! No problem with parking and picking up race packet. Other racers were happy and excited. No mad scrambles to the start line and while you are doing some road running, the scenery was great! I didn't attend an expo and am not really sure how much of an expo there was; again, this is a small town race. But those are the races I love! Definitely plan to do this one again. Oh, and the food and beer at the finish line topped off a great run!
