Organization – No complaints here, timely emails were sent out, package pickup was a breeze, complimentary gear check and having the community centre there was a huge help. We had free parking and shelter from the cold.
Course – It’s out and back and flat. You go through some residential areas, small commercial areas, and along the water until #3 Road and then you head back. Very flat at only 28 m of elevation.
Swag – We didn’t get medals but we did get a 25% discount at Running Room plus a pretty good post-race food spread (sandwiches, donuts, pizza, soup/stew, and more). I was very happy with those.
Would I Do it Again? – Yes, I’m very curious to see how I’d do without the wind storm. It’s also a great local race that attracts a good mix of serious runners and leisure runners.
