Overall the BEST part — plenty of portalets! This was a well organized event which kept you up to date with lots of emails before the run. There were plenty of parking places and shuttles that ran like … MORE. There were plenty of parking places and shuttles that ran like clock work for the off site runners, then we were able to wait inside before it started.

The race calls your name as you finish, which is a fun touch, and the after party and medal were wonderful. The after party had some of the best post-race food, not just bananas and water. There was coffee, hot chocolate, tons of desserts, and warm soup and cornbread, as well as pastas.

The staff kept the food and beer stocked up so that no one missed out no matter what time they finished.
