Disappointed

They pulled several runners at mile 22 because of possible storm coming. It did not happen.

Great course for a fast time

This course is great for a fast time. It is almost entirely on a bike path and is almost entirely flat. Seems like there might be an ever so slight decline on the bike path coming back to the finish. I was worried about congestion on the path but that was totally not an issue. I think a course like this with few turns and just straight out and back is the best type of course to run a fast time. There are few spectators, and for my age group award I received a pair of really cheap sunglasses (like the ones they give out for free at a lot of races) but I don't care about any of that. I came for a fast course and that's what I got. I would definitely recommend this course if you are out for a fast time.

Flat, kinda scenic, inexpensive, good aid stations

My 4th time here. Small town with large state university. Interesting restaurants and things to do. Entry fee and lodging very inexpensive: bang for your buck! Terrific farmer's market the day before.
