This race starts the morning of a church's annual ox roast festival, so the finish area is already coming to life when you cross the line. The course is open to all paces, and the crowd around the start reflects that: families, school supporters, and people who will be at the festival grounds all day. Food and entertainment are waiting on the other side of the finish.
