I was lucky enough to be the final runner, which meant I got to run along the river leading into Niagara Falls and then of course run right along the falls to the finish line. Forget about logging a fast time here because you will want to stop and enjoy the scenery. It was once in a lifetime for me so I stopped a few times and took pictures.

The end is very difficult because you are running through a MOB of tourists who have no idea a race is happening. And it's hard to know where to go. There are sidewalks and side roads leading everywhere once you are in the thick of the fall. Luckily there are a few Ragnar runners here and there pointing you in the right direction.

The party at the end was dead because as soon as everyone finishes they hurry to look at the falls (parking is about a mile or so from there and the finish line is well past the falls so if you're not running that last leg the only way to see the falls is to leave the finish line area). Still a great race though!
