I grew up spending my summers in Rockport and Gloucester. My first half marathon was Twin Lights in 2016, which I enjoyed. So I decided to give Twin Lobster a shot. While the course scenery itself was beautiful along the water, it was inadequately staffed. There was no medical staff nor police patrol in busy areas. A few runners (myself included) were need in need of assistance due to injury…no medical personnel were to be found on course. During the last two miles, no police patrol/volunteers were on course. I finished in under 3 hours so that was extremely strange. When I finally crossed the finish line, it took the race personnel nearly 10 minutes to find medical!
I emailed the race director voicing my concerns and received no reply. I’d avoid this race .
Beautiful course but no med staff?!?!
