It's a fun course but only has 3 major turns so it can get a little boring but it is so fun
Nice, level course. Little to no traffic interference. They had us get there too early, it was dark and chilly. Why not have it at 8 and arrive at 7?

The race and course are fine. IT is the age categories that is not good. In 2019 for men and women there was a category of 70-99. Today only one for 60-99. That is to big of an age difference. Please go back to 70-99. Otherwise you have 60 year olds in the same group as 70-71-72-73 all the way to 99. That is not fair.

The race was good, the course was good, the only problem was that the last category grouping - Womens 5k Ages 70-99 was not there as advertised. To have a 70 + individual compete against a 60 year old is just not fair. To big a gap. Needs to change for next years race. It was that way in 2019.

The course and race were fine, tee shirt was nice and the raffle had a lot of prizes. The disappointment was no finisher medal. To be fair, it was not listed as having one, but I figured they would. I heard a number of people asking about them as well. I think a finisher medal is a standard that most races have and people like getting them. The uniqueness of these race medals make for a nice collectable and a memory of any race. Please consider having them in the future. Otherwise an organized event, lots of food at the end and the course was fun to run.
