A great community event! Packet pick-up occurs over a number of days. Having volunteered with parking the day before the race, I would recommend not waiting to pick up your bib and long-sleeve tech shirt!

It's a giant community event and lots of people will only complete this race each year. The majority run the 5k but I opted to run the 10k with friends. A great course around downtown and through the Rose Garden neighborhoods, similar course up and down the Alameda as many races held downtown.

We finished the 10k as the winner of the 5k was coming through the finish line. Excellent crowd support and a relatively flat course. My current 10k PR so I may be a bit biased but I will be back!!!
