"I have mixed reviews on this race and need to explain my star ranking. My experience was unique because I had a bike accident at mile 15 and spent time in an ambulance getting bandaged up before continuing. Support from the EMS and race marshalls was wonderful.

I would do this

The course is flat and well marked to provide potential Personal Record times. Custom medals for the top three in each group are very nice. And the event supports the local activities provided by the Lions Club of North Ridgeville.

Still one of my top 5 favorite 5K races. Well organized run on a beautiful course. Digital mile time clocks were spot on. Beer, (limit two beers) watermelon, pretzels at the finish line. If you registered early enough you had your name on your race bib. I like that.
