Good communication. Easy directions. Organized packet pick up.
Ample, free parking near the start/ finish.
Indoor restrooms and staging with live music as you greet so many familiar faces!

One water station on course and bananas at the finish line.
All athletes receive a nice SS themed cotton shirt. Awards go to top 3 overall and age group finishers.
