This race runs on the morning of the NWSL Championship, tying the course directly to the soccer celebration that follows. It draws fans as much as runners, so the atmosphere on the road reflects that, people moving together toward a shared event rather than chasing a personal best. Expect the energy of a game day, not a typical race morning.
