Organised?Yes
Events on time?No

Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
Plenty of drink stations?Yes

Post race activities? Good
Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: Race was only running a few minutes late, but I never expect races to start exactly on time. No big deal to me. The quinoa/coconut water prerace works really well--better than oatmeal or shredded wheat with juice. No GI issues as quinoa digests better than wheat/oats and coconut water has way more electrolytes than any lab-concocted sports drinks. Absolutely no issues eating/digesting CLIF Bloks or shots while running at high pace.

Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: Race was supposed to start at 8:10, and they said "17 minutes to start" 3 minutes after the 5K started at 8. There COULD have been a few more aid stations, but I was dying, so I was looking for them.

Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

Comments: Hilly course, nice number of participants. Starts on mostly residential roads and the last 10 or so are on bike/walking paths followning a river and lake, up to the road, and back down to the river under bridges the entire time.

Comments: This was a good race and I will be back some day to get my revenge. :) On the plus side, my wife ran the 5k and finished 2nd in her age group. Pretty amazing, as it wasn't a really fast time, but it was nice for her to win some hardware. First time she has placed at any of her runs. Yeah wife!!!
