This race is a decent local find if you want a summer 5k on you radar. The course circumnavigates a lake, which provides some nice scenery. Also, the field is a small, local crowd for the most part so this race may be a chance to reach the podium or snag an age group place finish for the first time. HOWEVER, the course is not ideal. You will be racing on town sidewalks...and sharing them...with pedestrians...who do not know you are racing. I would not recommend based on the fact that we had to constantly pass pedestrians blocking the "race course."--a little unnerving if you're trying to PR
