Packet pickup was seamless, the volunteers were kind, enthusiastic, friendly and helpful. The course was well marked, and the perfect kind of challenge. There were plenty of porta-potties. The TShirts are cute, and the blanket is a great piece of swag. Well done! I can't wait to run it (hiking those hills) again." - H. Kelly.
