Good location and course.

Full Review:

Traffic and parking were good both before and after the race. The course was well marked except for one spot. There was a lot of people along the route to encourage me. The weather was cloudy, had it not been cloudy, it would have slowed down my time.

Race Tips:

Check the weather! This time of the year it can still get hot and humid in Ohio.

Travel/Logistics Tips:

If you can afford it stay at the hotel located next to the starting line.
