The overall race experience was fine. Everything was well organized, the parking, the swag, and aid stations were all satisfactory. The only reason I would not recommend this race is because of the course. I was expecting the race course to be through the beautiful town of Athens, Ohio, the OU campus, and surrounding areas, but instead it was almost entirely run on a paved running path. The greenery was pretty and would have been a nice part of the course if it were only a couple miles worth, rather than the majority of the race. This made the race feel pretty boring. If they were to change the course to be more diverse in scenery, then I would definitely recommend this race to others.
