Truth needs to be told.
Fitniche was the timing company and they had a narrow start which is fine but they did a mass start which was wrong. The timing company should have started people in waves. The minute the race started, all runners were packed in like sardines.
Runners were bouncing off of each other and I saw 2 people go down and then later on the trail, a lady tripped on a big root and another guy fell because he stepped in a big hole in the middle of the trail which should have been covered up or at least marked.
Nearly the entire course was trails that were up and down sand hills and I mean loose sand. A lot of places were mud. A lady stepped in the thick mud and her shoe came off which caused her to stop and people almost crashed into her.
Crappy course.
90% of the runners were finished with the race and they make an announcement that the pancake grill would not turn on so they had to swap it out. Many runners just packed up and left and went home. No pancakes for most of the people.
No snacks at the end of the run. No even fruit.
I would tell people that if they can find a different run, do it.
Me personally, I will never do this event again and for sure not this course no matter what. The charity was a good cause that needs better representation.
The timing was correct but the timers should NEVER have done a mass start.
Its 12:37am and no results can be found online where the race can be found.
