I completely agree and will ditto the review ahead of mine. Here are my thoughts for extra:
I ran the 10k and finished in 53:00. I would consider that fairly fast. For me... Because I finished at the front of the pack I didn't have the headache that most other runners did. We were able to enter the post race party... But quickly left.
The concept of the race was cool... Just poorly executed! The lighted lei was given out at the start so we had to run with them. Which was AWFUL!! Hot and scratchy and most of them broke apart. I was able to snag and extra so I do have my lighted lei.
No medals which is always disappointing. Food.. Ok.
The tank top was super adorable. Fit awful. Very heavy spandex material and sizes were extremely small. I normally wear a small tank and had to go large!!
Let's talk about the course. The last mile was gorgeous with the lighted St. Paul skyline. However the course was all slow burn hills so I was so happy to be almost finished I couldn't enjoy my view. A night run at 8:45... Not ideal either.
I MAY do this again with medals at the end and a course change.
