A week after running our seventh stroller race with Mr. K., I had no idea how pleasant this race would be.
First off, it's in Piedmont Park so that means it takes less than a mile to get to the race start. We could actually hear the music and the pre-race warmups as we walked over.
Then, the race course was really well thought out. You started by the swimming pool, do a once around the old racetrack and then back over around the bowl (where Park Tavern is) and then back around the old racetrack to the finish.
It was wide enough that it didn't seem crazy to bring a stroller in it.
The last two races I've really just wanted to enjoy it -- basically with the race being our normal weekend run with a T-shirt and snacks given to us at the end of it. We both enjoyed the fact a technical T-shirt was given out for this 5K race, which isn't always the norm.
When I realized where the course was taking us, about a mile into the race I grabbed my phone and started using it to play Ingress and hack portals. Might as well, I said at the time.
Anyway, it was a thoroughly enjoyable race. We ran a little faster than we did in the Summerfest 5K -- no huge hills to worry about here.
And we'll look forward to doing this again next year!
