  • Comments: 1st time race with only about 3 months of set up time from race inception. The good news is the race organizer is actively soliciting feedback for improving the race. Since it's so close will probably give it another try next year.

  • Comments: As a firt time event for the race organizers, they did a great job and were definitely open to suggestions/comments for next year. With the exception of those volunteers not being at that last turn on the run, the volunteers were AMAZING and one reason why I did not quit on the run. I will definitely consider doing this race again next year.

  • Comments: I liked this race overall. Tons of enthusiastic volunteers helping out, even in the rain. My biggest beef was with the post-race stuff. I had to hang around for two hours after my finish to hear the results. Now, I know they were waiting until the last finisher was done to start announcing, but even then there was a long delay. I think the timing company was being slow. Another complaint: the food. Theo's Tavern was supposed to be providing a "post-race meal." This consisted of a small breakfast burrito. There were also oranges and bananas. Not quite the spread I was expecting when I heard "meal." I would definitely do this race again, but I won't be staying around for the results next time.
