Overall this was a good race --
1. prerace/Expo -- packet pickup was at a local hotel -- and there was race day registration and packet pick up --- NO EXPO ---
2. Race day/ start -- easy to find with GPS from the hotel or with map from packet pickup --- plenty of parking --- started on time -- fast downhill start
3. course --- basically flat --- oh sure there were some gentle up hill/down hill areas but nothing I would call a big hills -- the bad thing about the course was that it was very twisty and had many turns several 180 degree twists -- several places to take a wrong turn -- they tried to have people out on the course but missed a few places -- lots of water stations with water/gatorade -- probably the steepest up/down hill is at the start --- the finish is up the hill where you started down hill out of the football stadium parking lot
4. postrace -- there was music / some fruit / water at the finish line --
Overall this was a small well run race put on by a local organization -- they do a good job -- its cheap and if you live close or are traveling in the area it is worth running --- Dont forget to visit the OSU campus and Eskimo Joe's --
