Past participant feedback in the source material noted friendly marshals, refreshments at the finish, and clear signage in many cases. The same feedback also mentioned that some courses ran slightly short on distance and that occasional marking or marshal placement issues affected a few participants. Spaces for the event are limited. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
