They didn’t have the fleeces and hats as promised for all runners. Said they got caught in customs. The race was NOT closed off from pedestrians and bikes. I was clipped and many other runners were clipped by a bicyclist and the race path was not monitored for safety. They ran out of water at mile 2, so my race partner was dehydrated by mile 5 and ended up taking a van to the finish. They closed down all of the food and water by the time we finished. And the race was not a quarter marathon. My running app said it was closer to 8 miles. Volunteer agreed that the race measurements were not correct. Overall this was the worst race I have ever been a part of. This race should be cancelled next year. It’s too dangerous. The entire race you had bikers zooming by on either side of you. Terrible!!
