Rogelio Orozco's Staging Area

This was the first time they put this race in LA and it showed! The entire run fair was located on a tiny part of Grand Park in DTLA. The lines for the packet pickup spilled out onto the sidewalk and were so bad that they just started handing out bibs without check registration. That meant that people who didn’t sign up got to run for free. Then they ran out of men’s t-shirts! These “professionals” then had me jot down my information on a blank piece of scrap paper and said that they’d mail me my shirt. I’m sure that it’s right on its way.
The race was incredibly crowded and never thinned out. As a result, it created an incredibly unsafe environment where people were tripping all over each other. I saw a woman fall multiple times because people had no space to walk or even run!
A complete money grab as they didn’t seem to cap the race so they could have as many registrants as possible.
I had looked at the course map, so I knew that this was going to be a hilly run, but so many people had no idea and were completely destroyed by the hills. So much for a “fun-run.”

This was the Fyre Fest of Fun Runs.

I crossed the finish line and got out of there as soon as possible.

I will NEVER do this race again, and I suggest anyone who wants a good race experience avoid this one.
