The staff was great. Due to the high humidity there were some last minute adjustments and cancellations. Communications could have been better. However, The Race Director sent plenty of emails offering people the opportunities to downgrade to the 10k because of the weather conditions. The Welcome Party and morning yoga were cancelled due to the humidity. The one mile run on the beach was changed to a half mile due to the high tide, which was fine by me. I hate running on the sand anyway. The 10k and half went on as advertised. The course started out on the road with rolling hills, and beautiful views of the water. Part of the course went through a park on a paved bike path, then back to the road. There was a huge hill at maybe mile 12.5. The heat and humidity made me feel bad, so it was a rough finish for me.
They ensured we had enough water stations with Gatorade, fuel and plenty of port-a-potties to combat the conditions. The volunteers were great. Some of the residents cheered the runners, sprayed water and offered cups of water.
Post race food was good, water, mimosas, soft donuts, bananas, oranges and delicious chowder.
I feel like they did their best with the unexpected weather conditions. This is the last year for Zooma Cape Cod.
