I think this company took the race over from a prior company, and the first year “jitters” showed.
CONS:
– limited post race food, even ran out of ice for shaved ice, (not gonna sugar coat it, that hurt.)
-aid stations staffed by kids who didn’t always understand what to do,
-awards took forever, just to pick them up at a table,
-results not available online, at least not yet,
-turnarounds had no cones, (some interpreted the lone sign as informing that the turnaround was ahead, and kept going),
-staff were breaking down and cleaning up while 30k runners were coming in.
PROS:
-30 k distance offered, right before fall marathon season,
-aid stations every mile!!
-people were REALLY nice.
-interesting color change shirt,
-pineapple fried rice, which sounded cool, but turned my stomache after a hot 30k,
Note: this is a hot and hilly race, on purpose. And, many of us think the course was long, even figuring in that it’s tough to run the tangents in a park trail like that. Expect well over 19 on your watch.
While it sounds like I’m being negative, I would probably do the race again. Just don’t expect anyone to care that you just ran about 19 miles.

Comedy of Errors, But Still Fun

They closed up early on packet pick up day. They ran out of men’s shirts, apologized and promised to send them, but never did. They don’t return emails. Course description was mediocre, but race was still fun. Good on course aid and volunteers. UPDATE: the race shirt did finally come in the mail. It was more than two months after the race with ignored interim communication, so I stand by the review, but the shirt did come.
