Event comments:

as an early season,relatively close to home HIM,this is a fine race.Although most volunteers were kind they were not always helpful meaning you would run up to a turn and not know where to go.The volunteer would not be there or be looking at yoo with no direction.This was the case on many turns and intersections.
