Nice turn out for this inaugural CHRISTMAS IN JULY themed event to raise money for local families in need!
Good communication, easy and organized packet pick up
Ample free parking
Fun venue with music for a party atmosphere
Gun start on a narrow walking path created a pretty big bottle neck at the start
Chip finish for a flat, fast out and back course on the walking path and through a quiet neighborhood
Well marked with plenty of volunteers for safety and one water station on course and at the finish
No snacks for finishers
Fun themed medals
“No shirt” option for all participants at a $5 discount however those that did not purchase a shirt also did not receive the free swag bags
Overall and 10 year age groups got a cute Christmas ornament award
