Of all the runs my daughter and I do this is by far the most fun, the neighborhood is awesome the way they participate, the bands along the way are awesome. Even the hills don't bother you too bad. See you next year.

Mostly downhill with lots of cheering volunteers. Great atmosphere. Worth the few uphill battles. Will plan to come back.
