Fun race and well done

Great community race that is well-organized and well-supported. I do wish they offered a bag check. Cars were being vandalized so I don’t feel great about leaving things in the car. But,aside from that, no hitches. Fun, friendly, love running this when I’m in town.

No support felt

It would have been nice to have course maps to choose from. Unclear what $ went to, with no course costs packets should have been mailed.
