"Pros:

-Relatively inexpensive ($45 if signed up early)
-Nice technical shirt (with cute logo)
-Lovely commemorative medal (with same cute logo) - which was a nice surprise, given they did not announce on their website that medals were being given out to all finishers
-A decent amount of aid stations (5 or 6)

Cons:

-VERY BORING course (at least between miles 3-10 when we were running down one straight, busy road)
-Some missing mile markers
-Lack of directional signs (I know I am not the only person who lost time wondering, Which way am I supposed to go?)
-Very little refreshments at the end (no bottled water, just water from a cooler and some bagel halves)

Overall (Scale of 1-10): 5"
