Fun hometown event, great for kids, cafeteria seating keeps little hands warm while waiting for start, they even had coloring pages and crayons. Packet pickup was easy in the gym. Plenty of parking. DJ played peppy music but not too loud. Tom’s sold hot chocolate and coffee in a truck outside, great for after race. Did both the mashed potatoes mile mile and the 5k. Had a blast. Will def do again next year!
