Details: This event has a 20K, 10K and 5K (for women only) run, and it's a very well organized race.

 

Getting registered is a snap, and, you get a box of huge, fresh grapes (worth around$20) and a fanny pack. The course is well designed (by a masochist) with a steady climb for the first 3K or so. The 5Kers get a break as the rest have another steady climb, and the 20K folks get more of the same. There are plenty of water/grape stops, and the grapes are delicious. The time to/from the race is only about 1.5 - 2.5 hours, which is pretty good.

 

The weather is generally perfect this time of year and the spectators along the course are very encouraging. This is a great race, and offers a PR opportunity for hilly running.
