It was a great race!
The Parking was easy and well communicated. I jumped right on the shuttle and made it to the course. I wish i could have done packet pick up at Road Runner, but did it onsite. They had bib only pickup in the morning, which i guess was because they had a short time to get everyone through and start on time.
i ran the 10k, so we started with the 1/2. they had a drone flying around shooting video, so that got everyone to cheer before starting.
The course was well marked and there seemed to be plenty of volunteers, they were all cheering us on as we came by. the aid stations were well stocked. i only drank water, but they had Clif blocks and drinks.
After the race we all got a cool medal. It is really heavy, i imagine they spent alot on them. also got some trail mix and a Fiji water.
There were tons of sponsors in the expo and we got a free brunch (i got the quiche, which was really tasty – good to get some protein). Typically i take off right after a race, but it was so beautiful and lots of people were hanging out, so i stayed and had a beer – Sierra Nevada (it too came for free with the race).
I got my shirt and re-usable bag and got a picture at the photobooth.
I left around 11am and the shuttle took me right back to the lot where i had parked.
Overall, i was really impressed with this race and would definitely do it again. I am not a big reviewer of things, but just thought this experience merited it.
