I finally got to do the whole series last year! If you sign up for the whole series, you get to choose from doing 1 mile on the first event and increasing to the 10k by the last event or all 5ks or a mix and match. I did a mix and match. I did 1 mile, 2 mile, 5k, 4 mile, 5k and 5k. Each race is set up the same (minus the distances) on Thursday evenings so you know what to expect. This is a smaller race because it's made for newbies or people trying to PR; a large amount of people would make this intimidating for newbies. Everyone, from the racers, staff to the volunteers are so encouraging and that's what it's all about! I highly recommend it. If you register for the package you get a tote bag and t-shirt. At every race you get a unique pint glass!
