I really wanted to love this race. I really did. The sweatshirt and hat they provided were fun and the whole vibe of the race was neat. However, the race was a half marathon. The course measured way off. I mean, WAY off! My Garmin came in at 12.57 miles. I asked four other participants and they all echoed the same issue. Nobody had anything near 13.1 miles. Very heartbreaking to run a “half marathon” but not really. I spoke with several folks that ran the 5k associated with this race and that course measured long. It is very clear the attention to detail is missing and I would not recommend this race at all. To top it off, my results were nowhere to be found in the official results. I emailed, called, and contacted via facebook, but no response. So not only was the course short, my results are gone too.
I understand that mistakes happen. The issue is that you cannot contact the race director, and if you do they do not respond back at all.
I know, you are reading this and thinking…well..I may run this race anyway. Well, go ahead, but be prepared for a hole in your heart when you finish the race but still feel cheated.
