This was the absolute worst race I've ever done. They only had water stations the first 5 miles, there were no porta potties during a lot of the miles so you'd have to find somewhere else to go, no fruit or anything, no crowds cheering, worst race ever.
This race is pretty well organized and pretty small (about 800 runners). On 2019, the weather was pretty hot and the wind at nearly 20 km\hr made it challenging in spite it's flatness. I did not appreciate that some water stands did not had people handing out the cups but instead just had them on the tables (which made it difficult to grab them on the go). The course is beautiful with great views to keep you inspired, but the paths are narrow which made the u turns quite difficult.
Race Tips
The course is two laps: 10kish one way and back and the almost the same thing (which is kind of nice since you know what to expect).
