The organizers just couldn’t manage this race properly. First, they said there’s going to be snow machine to cool things off throughout the course. Then they changed that to having finish line snow machine. Eventually, they completely missed out on having one!
Water stations ran out of cups, and they ran out of medals at the end. It was super hot, so water stations runnig dry is very poor. There were no mile markers after 3 miles. For $85 per person, the runners deserved a LOT more than what was meted to them.
The photographer vanished after 2 hours, so no finish line pictures for anyone who completed the race after 2 hours.
This race has so much potential. If organizers take note of these changes, they can turn this around fairly nicely. Busse woods is a great location to have such events in. Too bad it wasnt managed well.
