Jessica 's thoughts:

This was my 3rd year at this race (2nd time doing the half) and I love it. It's simple, pretty, and fun.

Registration: I was actually the first person to register (yay bib #1) and it was $35 for the half as they were offering $10 off for the first 20 people. The starting price for the half was $45. It was online and easy. They use runsignup.com which I like because you can creep on the other participants.

Expo: I picked up my packet the day of the race at the race site. There were a few vendors. It was outdoors and really pretty with Christmas lights and trees everywhere.

Photos: None since it was a night time race.

Course: Pancake flat through the beautiful paved trails of Palm Coast. It's a night run so the course was lined with glow sticks and there were plenty of volunteers to make sure nobody got lost.

Aid stations: Plenty with water and Gatorade. No bottlenecking that I saw.

Medal/swag: Glow in the dark HUGE medal! And a really awesome long sleeve tech shirt that I'll actually wear. Lots of coupons in the goodie bag for food, other runs, etc.

Food: SO GOOD. Taco and quesadilla bar. There was free beer and you were only supposed to get 1 but they gave me 3 because they had a lot (and I wasn't driving). There was also HOT CHOCOLATE AND SMORES!! There were firepits to make smores at. This was my favorite part of the race.

Parking: Plenty of parking close to the start.

I loved this race but I think I'll do the 5K again next year. Palm Coast is great to run in.
