Pros

Only $19
Warming area for before and after the race
Showers available
Food, so much food.

Cons

Hills, lots of Hills.
Run now matter what. In February, in New England

This is a runner's race. Race director has set up so that everybody has fun. Can't do a half marathon in the a lot of time. You can start early. Can't afford a race, this is the one you can at just $19. Hosted in a local area. High school full access to bathrooms, showers and cafeteria at the end.

Post race

At the end of the race, the cafeteria was opened. I heard it was one of the best post race meals. Banana, juice, Chilli, chicken, vegetables, pizza.....I could go on, there was so much food. Nearly 400 runners braved this race, and we all had a great time.
