This is a small-town race in Riverside, IA, the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk.
The national anthem was sung and the race started at 8:00 AM. We were not given electronic chips. Fortunately, a Gator truck was leading the way to the fastest runner. There were just enough volunteers to tell the runners when they had to make a turn, which were almost twenty turns!!!
So may turns confused some of us. I believe I ran the correct course, but ended up with 2.90 miles, instead of 3.1 miles. The course was a difficult one. The race started in the south part and headed north where a hill is. The good news is that the race finished going downhill.
There were no more than 100 runners. Medals were given to first and second place in each age category, and trophies were given to the overall winners (male and female).
Parking: I would say plenty of parking close to where the race starts (and ends).
Food after the race: bananas and energy bars.
A t-shirt was given to all participants. Nice blue cotton t-shirt.
