"This is one of the world-class events that goes on anywhere. It's one of those big rites of spring 10K races. It's one of the largest races in the country."
Yasso offered this advice for folks taking part.
"The biggest mistake every runner makes, even the lead runners: they just start out too quickly," Yasso said. "You have to hold yourself back and keep in mind that you're running 6.2 miles.
