The race announcer made the race more difficult. Before the race started he loved to hear himself talk, but it was very disrespectful to the runners who had come trained and ready to run. He talked too long, then the mayor spoke too long and then another official wanted to say a good saying about Americans (but added to the delayed start), then the anthem. The anthem should have been played before 8am and everything else before that so the race would start on time.
Later the announcer was so busy talking he didn’t realize runners were finishing. He completely missed the finish with the top runners.
Next people were standing in front of the time clocks so that most people couldn’t see them (including the 5k runners who were finishing). People needed to be screened away from that area because they didn’t realize they were blocking the clock. Or the clocks needed to be higher (above people).
For the runners in the 10k the last mile was miserable because they had to weave in and out of the 5k walkers. There were large numbers of walkers taking up much of the street the 10k runners had to weave around. In most races like this one side of the street is for the 5k people and the other side of the street is for the 10k competitors.
