Well organized 5k

Very well organized with lots of food,craft beer, and very good unique awards. Course isn't flat but not a killer either. Definitely one of the best I've seen in years

Fun for the whole family!

Had a great time running the 5K and the kids loved the one mile fun run! The after food and drinks were awesome and plentiful, and the t-shirt in the goodie bag is my favorite from any race I've done. Very family oriented, even the national anthem was performed. My only complaint was the cold but that's life! And the sun did come out that day. Can't wait til next year!
