  • Comments: Overall the race was great! It seemed like they added extra aid stations and upped the medical availability due to the heat. There were water stations almost every 3/4 of a mile and most of them had a hose or some form of water sprayer to cool us down as we ran past. Very organized and they even had giant blocks of ice so they were serving cold water at the aid stations! I even saw many of the paramedics assiting the volunteers in handing out water to runners! My one complaint is more of the people racing. It was a hot day and obviously most runners were not prepared for that. All the aid stations were croweded and the volunteers were struggling to keep the water cups stocked and available for them. If they weren't ready, runners were yelling at them! Totally uncalled for! Too bad the runners had to be the downside of the event. The course was great and the volunteers were great!
