This was my first 5k. It was fun to see the thousands of Santa's there and to be a part of the Guinness Book of World Records. It would have been nice to separate those that are running the 5K and those walking the 5K. I know it wasn't timed but with the thousands of people it would have been nice. Also, I was shocked at how quickly the booths were taken down after the race was over. Especially the food carts.
