Kim Prytherch's thoughts:

The director offered two chances to pick up your bib, in addition to race day pickup. I got mine early and also received lip balm, stickers, and free passes to a local park system. Score!
Prior to race day I received several emails about packet pickup, weather, and other details. Super well informed.
Race day was a little rainy but we were allowed to hang out indoors or set up a tent if we wanted to. Parking was easy to find. The race started on time.
Course was well marked and super hilly, rocky, gnarly, and fun. It was my first trail 5k, and I loved every minute of it.
There was a water station at mile 2, with great volunteers scattered throughout. I never once cane close to getting lost, all turns were clearly marked.
At the finish, someone took our raffle ticket from our bib and we were directed to beer and food. Crazy amounts of bbq, collard greens, black eyed peas, and corn bread for good luck in the new year. For the non beer drinkers they had sweet tea and unsweetened tea. We ate tons and waited for the raffle. just about everyone who waited won something. I won a beer glass and a Road ID gift card!
I will definitely be coming back in 2018.
