I wonder why the aren’t making it a permanent location like the CA race, it was easily selling out. It was such a fun race.

    1. They said they are going to announce a new one at a new location, but you are right – I ran this race twice, and it was so well-done, to date, one of the best-done races I’ve ever done. Bummed!
