This race started out lovely. It was a small race, but was organized. I was only doing this race to qualify for Marathon Maniacs, so I was just looking for an official race time. The website was not clear on their policy. I was at about mile 14 and knew I wasn’t going to finish in the time allowed. I began asking whoever I could see on the course about their policy (timer stays up until last finish, everything stops at the time limit, etc) and got conflicting answers. I was the last person and had the cop swag wagon behind me. I asked him to ask about the policy, and he radioed to his guys to find out. We were told that I would not get an official finish time if it were beyond the course time limit, and we double and triple checked. I was taken back to the finish line because I was not going to make it. When I got to the finish, I talked to someone in charge and was told that I would have had an official finish time. When I tried to talk to the lady in charge at the race, she was very rude to me. I tried to contact the people that put on the race about this interaction, and the person that responded was the same woman and was even more rude. I was not impressed with how they responded to me and the situation. I refuse to be a part of any race this company puts on.
