  • Comments: This was the most disorganized race I've participated in. The race started a half hour late and people were so tired of standing around in the cold wind ... we just wanted to run and get home to our turkey dinner. Then they screwed up the first place finisher, announcing the wrong name, thank goodness this person was not there to accept the medal. Several people brought it to the attention of the official timing company and after a half hour squabble the medal was finally given to the deserving young man who earned it. This was a chip timed race but there wasn't a mat to track the starting time ... just the finishing time ... what's up with that ... and the official time for me is not the time that was showing on the clock when I hit the mat. It took so long to gather the data for the awards ceremony that only a handful of people were even left in the area. Next year I'll do the Mile Hi Turkey Trot which benefits needy families.
