Event comments:

Did not have a central area to hang out for awards presentations. No set time for award ceremony to begin. Results were layed out on a table rather than posted on a wall making it impossible to see placings easily. Other than that it was a fun course with WONDERFUL volunteers. Good cheering from crowds and very sociable fellow athletes.
