The race was heavily promoted, and communication was terrific in regards to the threatening weather. Everything else was great including the cupcakes at the end of the race. However, I am a bit disappointed with the race itself. When they announced it was going to start at 9 AM instead of 8:30 due to lightning, I was like okay…then I waited until 8:45 AM to get out of the car to line up, thinking it’s going to begin promptly at 9; then all of a sudden, the race started at 8:50. What the hell? I didn’t appreciate it. Nobody led the course throughout; the front runners had to figure it out themselves; after mile 2, there were no cones at all at the turn, making it pretty easy to keep running straight through by mistake. Also, what I don’t approve is that there were cops at the beginning of the race but none to direct traffic along Lookout Road; some of the automobiles were driving too fast, being disrespectful to the participants and putting them in harm’s way. I’ll gladly run the race again next year, but they need to implement traffic control big time.
