Good, Hot, but Crowded!
I thought this race overall was pretty good but a few things: it was *really* crowded (felt more crowded than the Komen 5K a few weeks earlier) and the organization was a little lacking. Everyone seemed to be running all over the place to get things ready.
Overall though, it was a great race. It was super hot so neighbors setup their hoses/sprinklers (which I personally liked). People at the aid stations didn't really know what was going on, they didn't have timing stations (just someone yelling out times). The course is pretty simple with some small rolling hills.
The Race T's are nice quality (I didn't quite care for the logo). Overall, I'd run this again but hope that the explosive growth doesn't kill the organization any further.
