I thought the race was beautiful and extremely well run. There was tons of aid on the run course which helped a lot on the hot day. A choice of local wine or beer growlers made the awards worth aiming for!
Challenges include one rough mile or so on a bike path

This was great for my first race! Also wish there were more bathrooms before the race. It's a nice and flat course and spectators the whole way. The medal and shirt could be improved but overall super happy with the race! The volunteers were so nice and encouraging.

Despite the 5K and 10K races with a low turnout, I'd say the price of registration to enter the race was pretty reasonable. That's especially a bang for my buck for a 5K that does not have a huge crowd.

I am unsure about the course similarity to the Casino Bridge Run,
