St. Paddy's Day 5K, 8K
Would I do this race again.....no. Reason.....12 Porta Johns for 2-3 thousand people....really. The post race festivities, were a mess, no signs directing you where to go for your free beer, and goodies.
The race itself was not so bad as far as water stops and course, one of the mile clocks was not working. Other than that it was decent, although the path was not wide enough to accomodate the hordes.
Parking.....good luck, unless you pay $17.00 to park at the zoo.
