  • Comments: The only reason I gave this race a 4 rather than a 5 was because of the morning shuttle debaucle. That was just ridiculous. Otherwise, I think this was a great race. The course was beautiful and the atmosphere was a blast. I loved the expo and the beach party. I definitely plan to return to this race...hopefully someday for the half mary!

  • Comments: First, my bib was missing when I went to pick it up ... they probably gave it to someone else. No problem for me, I was able to get a new number, but whomever got my number by mistake got screwed because that bib number now shows up as "unknown runner" and his or her time won't count. It was a good time, too ... better than mine. Second, none of the young volunteers could direct me to the start of the 5k, which is not the same start as the marathon and half. One guy actually sent me the wrong way and after walking a half mile, I started to follow all the 5k bibs heading the other direction. No big deal as I had plenty of time. Parking was a nightmare, buut it was a big event so that's to be expected. Overall, though, I thought it was a great experience and a really well-run event. Nice staff (but clueless volunteers), great expo, very organized ... well done.
