This inaugural 5k/10k is in conjunction with the popular ‘Witches in Cottleville’ event held during the weekend. I had been dealing with some minor injuries so I requested if I could chage from the 10K to the 5K and they changed it with no issues. Packet pickup was easy and organized and parking was easy as well.
Path was way to narrow to allow all runners to start at the same time so there were rolling starts of 10-20 at a time which definately was not ideal. Course was pretty flat with an exception here or there. I believe there were 2 aid stations but being that I only ran the 5k I wasn’t paying that much attention for them. Fair amount of people dressed up especially in witch attire brought some nice energy to the event.
Nice assortment of post-race snacks were available as was bottled water and Gatorade. The aforementioned rolling start surely played a roll in a delayed awards ceremonies which, if you were on a time crunch, was a bit of a pain. Having said that all the volunteers and workers were super nice and helpful. The shirt and medal were also nice.
As a first time race I am sure the organizers will make some adjustments. Overall, I had a good time at this race and look forward to doing it again.
