  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: This was the largest 5K (1500+ runners) I did this year (5 races) and by far the least organized. We were given timing chips to attach to our shoes, so I assumed we would get chip times and gun times. But then I realized there was no starting line timing pad (actually, I didn't see an actual starting line, period), so I lost at least 1 full minute (I started behind probably 75% of the pack), which I didn't realize until I DIDN'T cross a starting line. The course itself was nicely blocked off and monitored, but this was the first race in which I actually had to wander around in order to find the post-race food and water booths.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: It's a nice little local race that seems to get bigger each time I go. Not sure howmany people there were this time but definately quite a bit more than last year. Lots of dogs and moms pushing strollers. TNT made a huge showing. Very nice atmosphere, lots of happy people, got passed by most of them!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was a decent race. Very small community race. Seemed like neighbors out for a little jog. Only about 300 people for the 5K, couldn't stay around for the 10K so don't know how many people were in that. It was nice though, I'd do it again. It is definately a good training run with the hills.
