I've run races along this trail a couple times and it is a really nice run along a concrete trail. This race used to end with a dramatic climb up and then down to the finish line. Now they've put the climb up in the middle of the run which will make this easier than trying to do it once your already dead. From half way it's all downhill. You can do a 5k, 10k, or half marathon. I'll be doing the half marathon at about a 10 minute/mile pace. The course is almost all concrete trail and so is very barefoot friendly so no worries there.

RSVP and let me know if you can join in. After the race we can go out and grab a bite and beer.
