| - Of the running races I've taken part in this definitely has the coolest medal, I mean, it's a chocolate bar. Their gift/gear is different from a lot of other races who just tend to give out shirts. Part of it is for the price tag, but then again think about how many roads you have to close!
You receive a pretty warm, decent quality zip-up hoodie that runs tighter, it's designed that way because it's meant to be something you run in later on or on the day of.
Support staff...longest run I've had, so the pacers were interesting. Had four hydration stations and three sweet stations...I do have a complaint, if the sign says M&Ms, I need M&Ms, because the amount of wafers I put in my mouth probably added ten seconds to my time as I was trying to swallow so I could hydrate. So course support was epic. And the amount of volunteers required to run the chocolate victory station was intense.
My only beef is there weren't a lot of sponsors on the back end, there wasn't a massage sponsor like so many races in the valley have. In fact the only sponsor at post race was JVC selling sports head phones...should have been handing them out!!!
A really fun event, will do it again next year.
