"The energy downtown for this race is so awesome... and the course itself, it's just a great course around downtown," said Madiol.
"If you're doing the 25K, you're obviously getting way out from downtown, but it's just a really well-run race and Amway is so proud to be a part of it as the title sponsor now."
