My timing sucked. Out loud! However, that is the only thing about this race that wasn't absolutely perfect! The course was held in downtown Sarasota, FL at Payne Park. The route covered gravel, concrete sidewalks and grassy fields. It was a double loop and supporters could see runners at nearly every turn of the course from the main auditorium (outdoor).
The park was immaculate with very easy access. Post race refreshments were plentiful, a DJ was present, goody bags were loaded (cashews, Bio-Freeze, chapstick, letter opener, free Chick-Fil-A coupon, free Jimmy Johns coupon, etc) and race results were calculated within 10 minutes of the final runners completion.
Overall, a beautiful day to be in Sarasota :)
A special recognition should be given to the race organizers and volunteers of this run. They did an outstanding job managing the event and making each and every runner feel both welcome and supported! This race will definitely be on my 2012 calendar!
