Apparently this is only the second year for this race series and it runs like they have been doing it forever!! It was far and away one of the BEST race experiences I have had and I am comparing it to the Princess Half-Marathon Weekend at Disney, so that's really saying something! They offer a Friday night Fishy 5K and/or 1K Family Fun Run, and a plethora of distances to choose from Saturday morning: Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, 5K and 1K for kids! and here is the best part: Run the 5K Friday night and ANY distance on Saturday and you earn the special Challenge medal!!! The medals are so well designed and of the highest quality.. really, we liked them MORE than the ones we received in Disney. And the race runs flawlessly!!! So many volunteers and so well organized.. everyone was finishing around the same times on Saturday and it was never backed up. There was a beer tent, (1 beer included in each of my 5Ks), at the end of both days and just a fabulous spirit all around. I met a lot of people on the course with fabulous stories!! (Shout out to 72 year old Bernie Thompson of Hamilton who I saw for THREE days of racing in Dunnville AND St Catharine's on Sunday and really inspired me!) There was also a great tech racing shirt and bananas, bars, water and a litre of coconut water at the end too. The pre-race emails and information are flawlessly organized from the package pick up to the race shuttles. Everything was easy to understand and find. I would actually suggest you use the shuttle rather than park in town just because we met the NICEST man who drove us back and forth! We really enjoyed the races and had never been to the area before. We loved Dunnville and did some weekend shopping/eating and discovering. Shout Out to Muddy the Mudcat, who you might overlook on the run out Saturday but will jump out at you in your final leg, lol! read more
