    MrMike FIRST-TIMER '21

    Great race course. Flat and fairly fast. Several turns but not bad. Good timing that was correct. ALERT Bad Stuff: 1. No chipt start and Very narrow start. 2. 3 … MORE

    Great race course. Flat and fairly fast. Several turns but not bad.
    Good timing that was correct.
    ALERT Bad Stuff:
    1. No chipt start and Very narrow start.
    2. 3 porta potties or maybe 4 but not enough. Many people were late to the start because of it and they were screwed because it was not a chip start so it put them 1 to 5 minutes behind everyone else. Start & finish at different locations but only a chip Finish. Cheap production. Only care about putting money in their pockets.
    3. Race director announced that he set orange cones on their sides to indicate a turn. How cheap & unprofessional is that. A good timing company/race director should have the course properly marked.
    4. Just prior to starting the 4.25 run, several Half Marathon runners were appearing at the finish line do to getting lost and the race director told them they went the wrong way and “Laughed”. Very unprofessional for this race director to laugh!
    5. Very, very Nice Finisher Medal.
    6. Water at the end of the race and no snacks and if there were, I did not see them and many other runners were complaining about not even a banana. I agree, cheap again!
    7. They advertise the course as a 4 mile course and a runner called the race director out at the beginning of the race and the race director said yes, ok, you got me, the race is not 4 miles, it is 4.25 miles. Lying to the runners is again unprofessional.
    8. Timing was correct and the staff helping out were very nice.
    9. Many runners at the end of the race were upset about no chip start when the course in sonarrow.
    10. THIS TIMING COMPANY DOES A GOOD JOB OF TIMING BUT THEY ALSO put on the race and act as the race director and they do not mark the course properly. Saying the race is 4 miles, when it is 4.25 miles in wrong and lying to the runners will not be forgotten. No chip start is wrong and many runners will not return again next year.
