First off this was the first year for the race, so I knew that it would have issues but I also had hopes because PEM is known for some of their other races that this potential could be an awesome race. The pricing started at $1 and then went up based on how many runners signed up. Here are the issues I had
1) course was slightly short (several runners had the same issues) and clocked 13.07
2) we didn’t receive a beanie that was stated in the registration
3) we received a sticker medal and I’m not joking
4) lack of communication before the race such as medals, shirts, questions, etc. We event sent messages and could see responses but nothing
5) runners were stopped by a train during the race
I will have to say that the course was very challenging but really enjoyed it. I knew going into the race that it would have hills so I made sure to prepare. The staff on site were great as they cheered us on and the volunteers were wonderful. If you want to run go ahead but these were the issues I had.
