This is a pretty small and relaxed race. Because of its size, there isn't much crowd support but it's very organized and the aid stations are kept very neat and don't get crowded. There is a lot of shade since it's run through a public park.
Race Tips
There are a couple small hills and one small 100 meter length that's a dirt trail (not paved).
