For this to be their first race, it was very well organized. Everything started on time. I liked the way they did the award ceremony.They started at the end and worked to the beginning building anticipation for the winners. Plenty of places to sit and wait a lot of neat vendors.Great event. The only thing that I would add would be coffee for the spectators that are waiting for their family and friends.
