So I ran the 5k, which was a new option this year. Glad they had it, because this was my first race after recovering from my hip issue. Overall it went well, let me tell you about it.

Email communication was great, not too much, but knew where to go to park and get my bib. Parking was great, they have you park at a local mall and they bus you to the starting area, really well done and quick. The bib pick up was easy and checking my sweatshirt was easy and they had bags for you to use if you didn't bring your own. There is plenty of space to stretch out and do warm ups before the race, which is really nice.

The race itself was great, some rolling hills, but nothing crazy and the views are so nice, such a beautiful area to run through, especially in the fall. The roads were closed with plenty of volunteers and police officers. There were 2 water stops along the way which for a 5k is nice. The last 1/2 mile is ALL DOWN HILL, you read that right, all down hill, which is so so nice.

After the race there was plenty of water and treats. I don't drink beer myself, but it looked like they had plenty for everyone. They then bus you back to your car, so nice so easy.

This race is very well run and I would very much do it again, maybe actually do the half
