I look forward to this race all year. In the past, I have run the 10k and 15k and loved every part of it. This year I shared the experience with my 2 young daughters in the 5k. I’m hoping to bring them back again next year.

It was my first time doing this 5k. I walked it and it was both mentally and physically challenging! Volunteers were helpful and friendly, and my fellow participants were cheerful. It really felt like one big team making it up and down the hills together!

Avg. Rating | Space Crew Volunteer | Year 2024

Volunteering felt like more fun than actual work. While there was definitely professionalism and organization, I immediately felt like I’d known this crew for a long time. The welcome, fun, and enthusiastic atmosphere made it easy to continue to ask what else I could help with. Those who needed to leave after their volunteer time slot were met with so much appreciation from organizers. Overall, just a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to do it again and again.

My half marathon adventure was spectacular because of the people who put on the event. I was the Dead Last finisher! Even though I was way late to the finish, I was supported and encouraged every single step of the way. I am not fast anymore, but I am annoyingly persistent! I would not have complained at all if the event staff and volunteers had to call it a wrap at the 5-hour limit, they have lives to get to, and I respect that. They waited for my geriatric butt to come in and greeted me with smiles and cheers! I even got a little extra trinket for being the last finisher! I loved my da,y and I will be back! I’ll probably do the 15k because annoyingly persistent can be annoying! Excellent event and beautiful course!

Such an AWESOME Race! I loved it. Great race planning organization that gives you a preview of the run before hand, great medal and t-shirts! Thoughtful planning, great goodie bag, tasty snacks and an overall great experience for first time or seasoned runners! This was my first time running this race, I did the 5K. Next year me and my friends want to do the 10K. This race was great all around!

What an awesome event! The staff is super friendly and helpful. Trail was clearly marked. There was an awesome variety of after race snacks and goodies provided to the racers. Tons of photographers to capture great memories of our team (Squatch Force and the Little Foots). My 7 and 5 year old had a blast with the 5k.
