This was my third year doing the 10k and my first run on this new course they switched to. Unfortunately it was raining the whole race which more than half was running up hill. In the dark. I prefered the old course and the scenery that it encompassed far more. By the time I finished, there were a lot of fellow runners limping through the last part of the course. The expo is absolutely fantastic and even included yoga classes to help you limber up the day before. The staff as well as the aid stations were wonderful as usual! I also love the service me?women that give you your medal at the end.
