In terms of swag, the long sleeve technical shirt I got from this was really nice and well sized. Only those participating in all 4 Cambridge Classic races get medals.
Bib pickup the day prior was really easy and well organized. It seems like it may have been a bit more chaotic for those who waited until the morning of. There is a bag drop, although I don’t recommend leaving anything of any sort of value in the bag, as it seemed pretty unattended.
I felt like there probably could have been a bit more in the way of reminding participants of race etiquette, especially when it comes to lining up, as I had to dodge a LOT of people who slowed to a walk almost right away. But otherwise it was well organized.
The afterparty was fun. Drink tickets were part of the bib, and they had a lot of options (although beer at 10am didn’t sound that appealing to me, but Cambridge is a college town).
