  • Comments: This is part of an annual series of races at Bonelli Park in the spring, one pair of races in each of April, May, and June. I've done other races put on by this promoter at this venue in the fall, but not any in this series before. There's definitely a local (and low budget) vibe to the events this RD puts on, but they attract quality athletes. Bonelli Park as a race venue is challenging (very hilly with some crappy roads), but is generally a good place to race.

  • Comments: I can't believe that a race that has been in existence for 30 years and that charges this much, doesn't cover parking in the park, doesn't have finisher medals or decent post race activities. As someone who is connected to several races I know that a little reinvestment goes a long way and they fail miserably. This is obviously a family that is more interested in lining their pockets with cash than they are taking care of the athletes. The Expo was almost nonexistent, there was little to no finish line support, a half a peanut butter sandwich and half a banana. Water only on the course with very limited volunteer support. It is unfortunate because the race itself was good but I will avoid it in the future unless they decide to step up and put some of the money back into the race. When will these Race Directors learn that without athletes they won't have races.
