Great race. My first time participating was for the 40th anniversary (2016) and the race pays for itself, even after registering late for $35. Between the amount of food they supply at the end, the t-shirt that comes with the registration and the value of the coupon for McLoone's, this race is well worth your time. The beer mug you get with the registration entitles you to $2.50 Miller Lite drafts at the post-race party at Bar Anticipation, where they also gave out hot dogs and hamburgers.
As for the race itself, it's very flat, as one would expect, and there's plenty of water stations, though not exactly at every mile, so plan accordingly. read more
