perfect weather

Cons

need more porta potties
alongside a highway
early start

First off, I just love Charlevoix. You want to sign up for this race just to visit this town! It has the best marina I have been to. It even has a drawbridge! Second, this race is a good size. It's not too big and not too small. Third, the weather is perfect. Admittedly, the race does follow a highway but there are a few pretty dang beautiful lookout spots. Finally, aside from two gradual hills, the course is pretty flat. Overall, it's an awesome race!
