Dawn Nicks's Staging Area

Easy registration, the packet pickup was a little challenging as it was only offered in a short window during regular business hours. (We prefer to pick up prior to race day) On the day of event, parking was a breeze, short walk to the start. Gear check was super easy. The race start was delayed just slightly, but they made clear announcements on it, the wave starts were nicely timed and space out. The event was well-coordinated, always appreciate the volunteers and their wonderful attitude, course was absolutely beautiful and easy. The end of race festivities and offerings were nice. Gear pick up was just a easy as drop off. The shuttle back to the start was well-coordinated as well. The Finisher medal is really nice. The Finisher photos were ready to view in less than a week! My only disappointment was the T-Shirt. In my 2 decades of running races, I have never received a short-sleeved T-Shirt for a race in March, and the quality of the shirt was very poor. I’m used to getting “Tech Training” type 100% polyester long-sleeved shirts. This was some Cotton Tri-Blend, very thin, scratchy material. After one wash, it’s pretty much ruined. Such a shame because the design of it is quite nice. It is not a shirt I would consider wearing around town or even to use as a training piece. I would definitely consider doing this race again and would be hopeful the shirt offered would be much improved.
