Awesome!
I've run this race since its inception and let me tell you it is fantastic! It's extremely well organized, the food is great, the course is flat and scenic, and the atmosphere is one of the best races I've ever run!
Awesome Race!
This race is amazing!! Wonderful food, great atmosphere and SUPER organized!! Even more excited for this year as I heard there is an entire section for kids so can't wait to bring my entire family.

This race is so well organized and a wonderful cause. Plus the ladies at registration are amazing!

This is my favorite race! Such an amazing community that's committed to ending drowning. Super well organized and fun! This race will be on my calendar every year. Not to be missed!
Great race for an important cause
Most races raise money for a cause. This race started out as one mother's mission to eliminate childhood drowning after she lost her son to an accidental drowning. No one has worked harder and is more passionate about this cause than Keri Morrison and her family. While some people would try and forget the awful thing that happened to them, Keri had to face her tragedy over and over again in order to raise awareness so that no one else goes through what she and her family went through.

This is the best 5k race I have ever run. It is so well run and you can tell tons of heart goes into the event!!
The best people!
I ran this race in 2016 for the first time and had a blast, except for the humidity. If you could fix that for 2018 that would be great! ;-) Seriously, these people are amazing! The set up is impressive and the presentation before & after were inspiring!!! They have passion for their cause beyond words and it shows at every step of the race. Great celebration after the race with fun for all! I highly recommend thus for the avid runner, the fun day with other seekers and everyone in between!!!

The most inspiring run of my year. The energy is amazing! The cause is phenomenal!
Well organized!
Great race, very well organized! Having the restrooms accessible at the stadium was a big plus (hooray for no port-a-potties) I never felt crowded, there was lots of space and sponsors tents are nicely spread out. What a fantastic organization, I applaude Keri and Roarke for their bravery in supporting the memory of their son.

Great race event, Amazing Cause to Support.
I entered this event to run a 5K, but got so much more from it than ever expected. This event supports a very worthy Cause. The event itself was very well organized and the details they put into it were heart touching, and emotional. Thank you for having the 5Ks and making us aware of Drowning prevention.

Structuring of race
This was my first time ever running a race, but for the first 2 miles I was spending time weaving through people to pass... Suggesting to inform fast or competitive runners to move to the front.. I thought I was close to the front enough but I guess not! :O Still a lot of fun, thank you!

Awards Ceremony
Took way too long to get to the awards. Same thing last year. Awards were done just before 9:30a which is really late. I drove 124 miles round trip for your race, not sure if I’ll return. Everything else was perfect!!

Control
The finish line needs to open. People shouldn’t be want for team mates at the finish line. Also walkers should start at the back. Why push to the front on the starting line, just to start walking and holding people back.
Literally and figuratively a very well "run" race!
This was the first time I have participated in the LLJ 5K. As a long time runner, I have run many races over the last 35+ years and was surprised to find out 2018 was only the fourth year this race has been held. I found it to be very well organized. Communications between the LLJ organization and the participants were clear. It is put on for a great cause that I was happy to support and I look forward to running it again next year!

LLJ Supporter
The race was absolutely amazing and so well done! We loved being a part of it and supporting this very important and necessary cause. The only suggestion I can offer for future races is for directions to parking and getting to race for out of towners. GPS was not reliable due to the road closures for the race so it was a bit difficult finding our way as we are not from the area. Other than that it was a phenomenal event that we are so happy to support!

My favorite 5k
I have done this race 3 years in a row now and have enjoyed it each time. This is the one of the best organized races I have attended. I have also beat my 5k PR here twice and this last one while I didn't beat last years, it was still my second best time!

Amazing Organization!
I absolutely love this entire organization. The work they do is so important. I work in a Crimes Against Children unit of Law Enforcement so I know first hand what can happen around bodies of water. Having two children under 5, as a mom drowning is one of my worst nightmares. This is by far the best 5K we do, and this year we even brought our puppy, along with our 2 boys :) Thank you for ALL you do for the children of PBC!

Feel the Love
This race is absolutely amazing! A true Family race with people coming together to share in the prevention of drowning. Those lost are honored and their loved ones are surrounded by love and support to prevent it from happening to anymore children. I love that it is on Mother's Day weekend! Great venue and wonderful sponsors. Abacoa is a neat place to hold this event! Keri and her volunteers do a tremendous job! Hats off for their hard work.
