The biggest mistake is combining the 10K race with the 5K race. When they both intersect about 30 minutes later, the pack will start to swell, leaving little to no room for runners because the path, especially on the sidewalk by Frontage Road next to 1604, is narrow, thus making it very hard for the faster runners, especially in the 10K, to pass through unobstructed. Afterwards is another idiocy: the awards show for the 10K isn’t for another 3 hours after the start of the 10K race. So, anyone who won an award was forced to wait, wait, and wait, especially for the stupid exercise program to end. As for myself, because I placed well, I got a free entry for next year’s race, but I will not go again because I don’t like the overall setup. Also, I asked about the location of water aid stations, but nobody could give me the answer which wasn’t good since I needed to know and be mentally prepared for it.
