Cupcakes!! This was a charity race benefiting Girls on the Run. This year's race had >1000 people which was an amazing turnout for such a great cause.
Registration - Online registration was pretty easy. The price started at $25 and went up to 45 the day of the race. Also, medals were only guaranteed to pre-registered runners.
Expo - No expo but packet pickup was really easy at Athleta in the St. John's Town Center. Parking for packet pickup wasn't too bad considering the location in the middle of a busy shopping center.
Photos - Had to pay for pictures but there were a few photographers on the course and the course was 2 laps so there were a lot of photo ops.
Course - 2 loops around the Town Center. It was a pretty boring view but it was nice and flat.
Aid Stations - One water station but again it was a 2 loop course so you could hit it twice. Lots of volunteers on the course with cheer signs.
Medal and Swag - CUPCAKES! Each finisher got a super cute cupcake medal and a container with one of the mini cupcakes from Sweet by Holly. There were also coupons for 4 more mini cupcakes to pick up at a later date. T shirt was plain cotton but it was cute.
This was a very family-friendly run. Not the best course to PR on because lots of turns and walkers but it was still a great time.
