Jonathan McWalter's thoughts:

What is there to say? This is a fun run, at least that's how I treated it. I ran the race with my two young sons, therefore was not really "racing" it. It was the first time I had run the race and it lived up to its hype. We had a blast. And I must put a high focus on the management team and event staff. I screwed up the time to be there by and we were late to the start. The event staff arranged for a worker to grab a utility vehicle and drive us to where the final wave of people were on the course. We missed one "color" station due to them already cleaning it up but we made it for the last three and then, of course, the after party color splash. I can't say enough about the staff. They could have easily said tough luck and sign up again next time. They made what could have been a bad experience into a great one, not so much for me, but for my boys. They also gave them free hats and sunglasses which made their day....and we hadn't even done the fun part yet! I would definitely suggest running this fun run because it really was a cool experience and a lot fun with a lot of community spirit, even at the very end when people helped clean up all the empty color packets.

Overall: Look above :)

T-Shirt/Swag: Fun t-shirt, head buffs, Greek Ranch dressing, head band, some deals on local merchandise, balloons and at the end of the race, color packets if you didn't get to throw all of yours around.

Aid Stations: Plenty of water

Course Scenery: It was held at Miller Park so nothing overly exciting but I enjoy the minor ups and downs around the stadium.

Parking Access: Great. It was free and there was plenty of it.

Race Management: Again, look above. Exceptional people!

I will be doing this run again. And I will make sure to show up at the right time!! ;)
