Fantastic race. I was able to shave off four minuets off of what I expected to get for my time. The track Is very flat and open. Everyone was very welcoming and I can't wait to do it again next year.Also, I'm glad I was able to find a Turkey Trot not on Thanksgiving,while helping a local High Schools Music Department.
