Pros :
-very flat course, easy to do a PR on that race
-very well managed (small) event. The expo is small but sufficient considering the number of participants. Traffic was handled perfectly. Aid and signals were present. Everybody was chill and nice.
-so well managed we started on time! It actually took me by surprise, first time ever that happens
-country music band playing! Lovely touch that fit perfectly the race

Cons :
-Yes it's flat. It's also very boring. Nothing to see there, just a road in the middle of nowhere, and it's not a loop so you'll have to run it back too. Not recommended if you actually enjoy running.
-No shades anywhere. Don't be like me, bring a cap and/or sun glasses or you'll squint half of the race
-I get extremely angry when I get a necklace instead of a medal at the end of a women's race. It's not like any of us is going to wear a cheap necklace and it undermines the effort we put in the race. To me it's plain sexist.

Conclusion : Not a very fun course but great if you're going for a personal best.
