Thank you for a great event. It was close and convenient to where I live. Nice and easy 5k course. I felt that the check in was nice and easy. The staff was very friendly and was able to socialize with you. The only down fall was not enough photographers out on the course but I guess we can take our own pictures with our phones. The post race event was fun. I never have went to a beer garden in all the other races that I have done but I thought I would give a cheers to a great race on 12~13~14. I made history running with my husband on such a memorable day!!! I give all the thanks to you for making this event happen and I am more than willing to offer my time on next years series. Great job Team Lexus LaceUp!!!

Thought the event was great.
With the rain the day before, i was worried that the race would not happen, but got the email saying it would. Did packet pickup at the event site, which was really smooth. had to pickup the shirt afterwards, as they had alot of people coming in the morning and wanted to start on time.
The race did start right on time, which i did not expect given the rain issues.
The staff was great all around. course was well marked and plenty of flaggers out there – lots of people in uniform (natl guard or ROTC) – they were waving and cheering us on.
Post race, got a great brunch and beer (Sierra Nevada) that were included with the entry.
The medal was awesome and the shirt is great – one i will actually wear.
I hope to run this race again in Riverside next year.
Great Times!!

Nice location, but parking lot was 3/4 mile away, so better to park on streets in neighborhood surrounding park. Published start time info was not accurate. Poor course markings for 10K, 5K seemed well marked. Nice shirt and participant medal, brunch trucks and beer garden were great. Packet pickup was too far away from race venue and very inconvenient for those in the areas south/west of Riverside.

This was my 2nd half marathon and it was a great experience! Everything ran smoothly and the course was fairly easy (and flat). They offered all sorts of energy boosters along the way, and bananas before and after the race. Parking was easy at the park, and I got there about 30 min. before the race.

I would definitely run this again!
