I participated in the 5k, race kit pick up was very disappointing, there was 0 swag, and they only gave out 2 safety pins, on a windy day having a bib flapping around is very annoying.
How can you not budget having enough safety pins knowing how many people registered for the race?
The finishing tent was a disappointment, there was beer advertised but when I finished there was nothing in the tent.
And here’s where this race completely lost me as a future participant, my husband was in the half and had an injury at the 6km marker, he made it to the nearest water/aid station and they said there was nothing they could do. I was already at the finish line since I did the 5k, I talked to the paramedics and they said they would not be able to go out there, and that he should UBER it or taxi it back! I don’t know who races with a credit card or money to pay for a taxi! So from the finish I had to go pick up my car and drive out 16km to pick him up.
There were emails from race organizers saying if you had to drop out that they’d send a wagon, but this was clearly incorrect info!
