How variable from year to year is the 10k course? Curious whether it will be similar to last year, or if there might be changes....

This one hasn't changed since it was first run - I don't expect any changes.

The 10k course is amazing. It's why I'm struggling to decide whether or not we do it along with the marathon or stick to our plan of running the marathon solely.

I think what @ZellyB MEANT to say is she's really excited to run the 10K because I will be dispensing booze around Mile 5 under the Shipwreck at Stormalong Bay.

Yes, of course that's what I meant to say.

although if I don't run it, I can just walk down from my lovely BC room and cheer on runners as you hand it out.

Are you dispensing anything to those of us who do not drink alcohol?

I'm curious to know what you would want, non-alcoholic, that isn't already supplied by the race? I know @KSellers88 would want Sprite. If I were to choose something non-alcoholic, I would probably want La Croix...

Maybe candy. Yes, it's near the end of the race, but still nice.

I am being genuinely curious. Haha. I'll eat almost anything during a race.

In 2013 there was an unofficial "Three Little Pigs" challenge hosted by a Facebook running club during the marathon. The idea was to eat 3 pieces of bacon at about mile 24.5 of the marathon and then finish the race. Seemed like a good idea at the time I signed up for that, but bacon at mile 24.5 for me was not a good idea!

I would go for an ice cold Diet Coke...but not while racing, just right after. I don't think carbonation would settle well.
(btw I do drink-drink, just not a lot)

La Croix? I am not sure I want to try Dominos now...

SarahDisney · Jun 22, 2018

I would probably want coffee if I was going non-alcoholic. But then again, I always want coffee.

OH SNAP. Not a fan? My favorite part of soda is the carbonation. La Croix gives me that without the calories and sugar.... You know until I mix it with booze. But whatever.

Topo Chico beats La Croix in a cage match, no question.

I just drink store brand seltzer*

* Although I wouldn't say no to some of the flavors of Poland Spring sparkling water. But I don't get much fancier than that.
