Erin 's thoughts:

I decided to run the Sweatin for Sammy 10k pretty last minute (days before the race, after online race registration had already ended). Showing up race day to register wasn't a problem. I was fairly confident going into the race that the course would likely be mismeasured, since there wasn't any mention of any distance certification on the website, and that's what happened. Most racers' watches clocked the distance at closer to 6 miles, and I think the 5k distance was also inaccurate as well.

Anyway, besides the questionable distance, the race is awesome. I enjoy running through Hellyer Co. Park/Coyote Creek trail, and it's almost 100% flat with just a few little hiccup hills. The volunteers were all super enthusiastic, the t-shirts that came with race reg were nice, and the event (most importantly) was an excellent fundraiser for a great cause. The event is also really family friendly because, beside the 5k and 10k, there was also an Easter egg hunt for kids and a little mini-run as well. :)

Overall, I'd recommend the race -- and would love if they got it certified :)
