Fun, friendly race

Full Review:

I ran this in 2021 and just forgot to write a review.

The race was fun with the Halloween theme, although there were no promised decorations out on the course the first year. Communications were excellent leading up to the race. Parking was easy. I took the shuttle but probably could have parked at the start. Course was super flat, and it was a nice amount of runners for the space. I was never alone until a few short stretches at the very end, but it was also never crowded. There was beer at the finish, but not much else if I recall correctly. I think there was a food truck. Small, friendly, logistically easy race. Funds go to a good cause. Cute awards for age group winners.

Race Tips:

It's pancake flat, so you might want to build in some sprints or run/walk breaks to give your muscles a little variety. I thought it was fine, but totally flat can get tedious.
