This was my 6th year in a row running this race and it's always one of my favorites.

You can count on flawless organization, aid stations worthy of a marathon, and a great post-race atmosphere. The weather always turns out for it as well!

The swag is always a great (used to be picnic blankets, now a great durable bag that I'll be using as a lunch bag!). And there are great post-race giveaways. 312 beer (nice quality local brews!), Muscle Milk giving away full size recovery, American Cancer Society giving away ice-cold wet towels, and American Insurance giving away reusable ice packs!

It's a great way to kick off a holiday weekend!
