A few hills with a track finish. Hoses were out to cool the runners along with water stops.
Nice tech tee shirts with a cool logo of \"barley and hops runners\". Women\'s sizes ran very small. If you didn\'t pre-register for the race you were told to pick up a shirt at the end of the race but there were none left.
Beer, hot dogs, watermelon, cookies at the finish line.
The beer truck had a Bud Light sign on it and there was plenty of it. I did see a runner collapsed at the finish line probably from the extreme heat & humidity. People were assisting the runner but I did not ambulance support show up right away.
We went to Fitzgerald\'s 1928 after the race to continue the party.
Despite the heat all in all a good time and I\'ll probably run this race again next year.
