Full Review:

Super scenic race. Some easy hills early then flat final half. Perfect for a negative split. Well run by local running club. Not a race if you want crowds or spectators.

Race Tips:

The few hills are early then smooth sailing. Can expect cold mornings (race begins at 6:00) and still cool by the finish. Shuttle bus out to start worked effortlessly.

Travel/Logistics Tips:

I stayed in Logan (about 50 minutes away) because not much closer. Garden city is very lovely. Try the Raspberry shake after the race.
