Air Force
Most distinctive of the four races. Best expo. Most difficult logistically to get to the race, even though it was the closest. Most entertaining aid stations. Most inspiring race. Most Maniacs.The Mill Race
Flattest course but also the most boring. Hottest weather. Worst aid stations and crowd support although it could have been worse. But great parking situation. Best party after the race.Prairie Fire
Prettiest course. Best pasta dinner (well, only pasta dinner).Grand Rapids
Best aid stations. Second prettiest course. Second best expo. Second best party after the race. Various factors probably push this one overall to my favorite of the four races.I guess really I would have to say that they were each fun in their own way. None of them were awful, and there were some great things about each of them. The Mill Race was probably my least favorite overall, but even that race had a lot of good things going for it and considering it was a first time race, it was better than expected. I would do every one of these races again if the opportunity was right.
