Benton 's thoughts:

I ran this race in 2014 for the first time. The race starts and finishes at the Stonyfield Yogurt Factory in Londonderry NH. Parking was easy, you could park at the factory, or they had a small lot less than a mile away where a shuttle bus was bringing runners back and forth. I chose to park at the lot just because I wasn't sure how easy it would be to exit the factory parking lot after the race, however for others it didn't seem to be an issue.

The race seemed well organized, I picked up my bib and t-shirt on race day with no problems. There were easy to read mile markers and a water/aid station at about half way. The course wasn't anything to write home about. The scenery kind of reminded me of running near an industrial park because we kind of were. It was all paved roads that started out with a nice easy downhill, however coming up the hill during the second half of the race was a little taxing. I ran a slightly slower time than usual because of that. Competition wise there weren't very many elite runners because I placed 2nd in my age group and the guy who beat me was literally 9 steps ahead of me (and I'm not fast).

The best part of the race and the reason I'll go back is the Earth Day Fair they had afterwards. There were around 70 vendors with products or services that were usually green, organic, or local. There was plenty of free food, drinks, and product samples to be had. My small string back was ready to burst by the end. For this reason it may be a fun race to bring a non-running friend to because they would have plenty to entertain themselves with. There was also a nice beer garden with live music and two beers for runners.

I would definitely do this race again because of the no pressure/less competition factor, but most importantly for the great Earth Day Fair afterwards!
