This race was a disaster from the start. They were begging for volunteers the night before. When we got there for packet pick up, they weren’t set up and were scrambling to get set up. The swag is a bad ugly t-shirt that I gave away and they also ran out of.
The race did not start on time. The start is for everyone so you are running dodging, the 5K walkers – kids, strollers, etc. on a pathway. It doesn’t clear out until the 10K peels off and the 5K group turns around. It’s poorly marked so it’s hard to tell which way to go. It’s basically a trail that has no scenery. You go through a parking lot at some point. There is NO support – if you have any medical issue you are on your own. The snacks at the end were totally random – think bad candy and twinkies and not much of them. It’s just a super boring, poorly executed race for no cause.
This is a corporate race and needs a lot of work. I did the same race – the Thanksgiving race a month later, same course, same everything, but a little better organized. I won’t do either again.
