Yana Mednik's Staging Area

Decided to participate in Trifecta so I can run 3 states on my quest of running 50 states. First of all after registration the new company took over the organization and it was not great.
They don’t respond to emails or messages. The email about package pick and all other organizational stuff didn’t come until 3 days before the first race. The course is very tough, on the open road and non stop hills. Aid stations were decent, but I did not see any bikers or cars passing by and checking on runners. Also no medical tent except at the finish line. Post party non existent-you get pretzels, chips, pretzels from Costco and chocolate milk. During Utah race they also have 5K and keep registration open up until race time. And as you can guess when half and full marathon runners finished-they had no medals for us. They run out of medals, because they give it all away to those 5K finishers. My husband run all 3 full marathons and placed first in his age group-no recognition and no award. The promise to mail medals, but It’s been a month and they still didn’t mail medals as promised. I understand things happens, but at least send an email and answer our emails if you are mailing medals or not. At least aknowledge our emails. I think they are getting away with charging premium price for those races because they know people who are trying to run 50 states will sign up anyway
