Love the race and the environment. I did 2nd place in my group age and was very happy. Definitely going again this year
I loved participating in this race organized for Carmela’s Heart Foundation. It was such a fun event in a beautiful location, and the best part is knowing that every dollar collected goes to help children living in poverty. It feels great to enjoy a good time while supporting such a meaningful cause. Highly recommend.

Awesome race! Beautiful course with a couple of fun hills to keep it interesting. Everything was super well organized, easy check-in, clear course, great volunteers, and perfect vibes all around. I’d definitely run it again!
