Jingle Bell Run/Walk - Raleigh - Run5k

I have no idea why I didn't write this up when it happened. The start was super disorganized and the parking was a mess. Once we finally got started, the race was good. The issue was with getting out of St. Mary's College and making a hard right onto Hillsborough. Once we were on Hillsborough Street, it was a straight out and back (to about Cup A Joe).

In all honesty, I would probably not do this event again unless I was with family. It seems like it's more of an event for the stroller crowd than anyone else.

Parking was also an issue. Why have it on a college campus and have us park blocks away, walking by the empty parking lots on said campus to get there?

Also, while I understand fundraiser events, this one was super pushy about it which I found to be a turn off (not that I don't do fundraising for TdC and BikeMS and so on, just don't shove it down my throat and fill my inbox with stuff).

I guess that answers the question about why I didn't do the race report sooner. I didn't want to memorialize it.
