Beautiful day for a ten mile race! This was a makeup day for the original February 22nd date, which was literally washed out due to heavy flooding on the course greenways. Start 2 Finish did an awesome job putting this on. Twice.
On the original February date, Start 2 Finish decided to go ahead and hold an informal run with a modified course. Packet pickup, vendor tents, an awesome pancake breakfast by Chris and the folks at Xenia Catering all still happened. I think there were about 80 runners that kept the original date.

| Informal run with the arc and breakfast? Awesome. |
On the March 23rd race day, it all happened again. Packet pickup for those that didn't grab it the first time, coffee and breakfast from Xenia yet again, and a terrific group of people interested in a great run.

| Just a few folks in front of me at the starting line... |

There were a few folks that had run a Spartan Race the day before, and I was impressed with how strong they were holding up. Some of them were laughing along as they cranked through the course ahead of me. Have to be in awesome shape to do these two events back to back - kudos to them.
There was a 4 mile and 10 mile option, and everyone got the same awesome medal. Had a nice time, beautiful weather, lots of people out enjoying the run. I'm very happy with my pace, and a good experience all around.
